So, instead of rational gun control measures, locking everyone up will cut gun crime to 0? I mean, it isn't like Lanza was reportedly set off because his mom was considering having him committed. It isn't like Spengler had spent 20 years in jail and stayed under the radar long enough to act out. I'm not even going to go into the flaws with the teacher suggestion. Teachers usually have upwards of 20 kids in their classrooms, some have several classes a day. If it gets to the point where a teacher is noticing a kid's mental problems before the parents, how exactly is a teacher supposed to proceed? Aside from a recommendation that the kid see a counselor?
where did I say it would cut it to zero?
I said it would address the problem at the root, instead of irrational ideas like guns being the problem.
AGAIN WHAT GUN LAWS?
? ANSWER THAT QUESTION, Ive heard one...high cap mag bans which we already know dont work......
of course there are flaws b/c nothing we do will eliminate the problem 100%. There are however better ways to go about addressing the issue and gun control laws which DONT ADDRESS THE ROOT PROBLEM and DONT WORK is legislative masturbation.
The teachers often times spend more time with their kids than parents do. They see them interact socially in their peer group alot. Yea seeing a therapist would be a good step in the right direction for addressing the actual problem.
Do you disagree that mental illness plays a big role in the mass killings>
