Students injured when Monterey County teacher accidentally fires handgun in class

[sun rise]

I wouldn’t mind treating schools like federal buildings like courts and assume people want to get in and do harm. That doesn’t mean arm all the federal employees it means having measures to keep harm out as much as possible. Sure there are crazies that will even draw a gun in a room full of cops.

Edit : i say this because schools seem to get more threats than anything I ever hear of.

The media focuses on them. And the number has ticked up a bit. But all things considered, guns being used to murder people in school is very rare compared to all the other kinds of gun violence, especially considering suicide.

More often what I see is a local small news item about how a kid brought a gun to school and was then arrested and presumably taken to juvenile court.

I agree with all those points. My "even a cop" comment was to point out that supposedly well-trained individuals can and do make stupid mistakes.

Having known many cops, I'd never assume that all are well trained.

This time. It's happened plenty in the past. More guns in locations = more gun accidents/deaths.
This isn't up for discussion.

Of course it is. More cars, more death's too.

Glocks do not have a manual safety along with other striker fired semi-autos. Just being nitpicking about your safety comment.

I don't give a damn of the makeup of a glock...Like I said you injure my kid accidentally as his teacher better be ready to die point blank period...You better not show up to school, better call the principle and tell them you quit and you better have another job in another school district. I will go to prison for a long time over your own negligence.

It wouldn't surprise me if he was a leftist nutjob out to make a point.

Are you serious?

How about getting your facts right.
And before you challenge the source as I know you and others will do the facts come from
from the below link
"The NSC’s “Injury Facts -2017 Edition” shows a 17 percent decrease in accidents involving firearms from 2014 to 2015, a period when gun sales soared."
Accidental gun deaths hit record low, even amid recent boom in firearms sales

What does that have to do with anything? I said more guns in a location = more accidents/deaths

Just pointing out facts. I agree that the teacher was a fault. I just have an issue with making an assumption about a firearm that is not totally the truth.

Time to go to school again @tytly.
definition of location:
"a particular place or position."
The continental United States is a geographical location hence the NCS has said that the "The NSC’s “Injury Facts -2017 Edition” shows a 17 percent decrease in accidents involving firearms from 2014 to 2015, a period when gun sales soared."
So you want to try squirming some more?

Are you serious?

Never underestimate the manifestations of irrational zealotry. Most of the anti-capitalist left would have had your reaction to the suggestion of nut jobs flying planes into the skyscrapers before 9-11.

In the wake of Occupy Wall Street, who I'm sure would have some irrational justification for it:

Ah, I get what you're saying. Let's take schools for example where guns currently aren't allowed.

You hold the position that adding 10's of thousands of guns in schools will have zero accidents/deaths. Gotcha.
