Certainly some people on plains should be allowed to carry guns, such as pilots, sky marshals, and perhaps certain qualified and specialized flight attendants....
...certain faculty and staff in schools should be allowed to carry guns, although it would have to be specialized.
What's to stop a teacher from becoming an active shooter ?
There are 133,393 schools in the USA grades K-12, both public and private. Far less than 1% of them have shootings.Have you any idea how many schools there are compared to airports ?
According to your numerous other posts you make it clear you want gun control like Japan which would effectively ban most guns, I assume that would also include women not being able to own guns so now you're contradicting yourself....
...for those women than choose to carry guns, and that number has been growing since the Obama administration and will no doubt continue to grow, I would say it works quite well.
No, I was asking a question, not stating a preferred option.
How do you know ?
I know a woman who carries a gun...she carries it in her purse (hand bag for UK readers).
No way could she retrieve her gun (it is a compact handgun Btw) if attacked.
Unless you're OK with all women walking around malls, parking lots, schools, hospitals etc etc with a loaded gun in their hand, cocked and one in the chamber. I'm not.

You'd prefer they be vulnerable to their attackers?
But the number is growing every year.
So how many airports do the TSA man.
Now apply that to 133,000 schools...also colleges...do you includes universities...churches....
I'm saying the less guns we have, the less shootings we'll have.
They are vulnerable anyway.
Does a sign on the door stop a teacher from becoming an active shooter? What does stop a teacher from becoming an active shooter?
Less so if they have an effective means of defense, but you want to to be more vulnerable than they have to be.
Sounds like Nineteen Eighty Four.Yep, and the fewer knives that we have then the fewer stabbings that we'll have. Basically, the less freedom that we have then the less crime that we will have is your theory.
Than explain this, Front Sight, a world class shooting school in Nevada has thousands of people come there to take classes every week. Everybody there has guns. Thousands of people with guns. Yet at Front Sight the only shootings are the ones done at the paper targets, explain that.
Allowing them to have guns in the classroom with no questions asked, makes it easier for the to be an active shooter.
Right now if a teacher is caught with a gun in the school, it's an instant red alert.
We're going to need more gun free zone signs.
I thought it was well before that in which they stopped allowing pilots to carry guns, and in the wake of 9/11 the restriction on pilots having guns was being questioned and challenged.Pilots used to have a gun up front with them. Shortly before 9/11, Bush changed that, and said that they could no longer have weapons up front with them. Imagine how different 9/11 might have been if the government hadn't got into gun control, and allowed them to defend themselves.
How long after a planned shooter enters a school with a gun with the intent of committing a mass shooting do they wait before they start shooting? Would a teacher so inclined wait until their planning period?
Alright, another easy method of suicide, a bottle of Tylenol, and its not scary and agonizing like hanging yourself, its perhaps even less scary than shooting yourself.
You mean like British women are ?
Maybe US women need to be more aware of their surroundings.
How many rapes have guns stopped ?
I thin k you'll lose any statistical argument.
He wants to ban lawful gun ownership and confiscate all guns. That's all you need to know.
IDK...Stephen Paddock seemed to plan and prepare for his mass shooting for days.
...and about 10 million new TSA members.
I don't know specifically about privacy with respect to roommates but I do know that if your roommate consents to a police search that consent generally does not extend to your private bedroom. That would kind of imply bedrooms and other non shared spaces are private. Probably doesn't matter a whole lot since the idea of the girl suing because they entered her room seems pretty silly.
Adam Lanza did not own the guns legally, he stole them from his mom and killed her. The shooter in Santa Fe stole the guns from his dad. Neither of them had the guns legally.Not it's not an isolated case.
Parkland...Sandy Hook...Sana Fe...the list is endless.
Not by the shooter.The point is that the guns used were legally owned.
Because less than 0.000001% of the lawful gun owners in the USA ever use their guns to kill innocent people in their lifetimes.YOU might be an owner of legally held guns.
YOU might be a law abiding citizen
YOU may only have used you guns in a legal and safe way...
...until tomorrow when you go into a church and kill as many people as you can.
How do I or anyone know what you will do with those guns in the future ?
And its a flawed point, see above.THAT is the essential point of gun control.
