How do we stop school shootings without crossing the imaginary line that the pro 2nd amendment crowd has drawn?

Hour-long group counselling sessions with students of mixed grade groups and backgrounds twice a week, switch groups every two months.
Everybody on campus know each other, make them more empathetic. Got countless psychology students washing out witta bachelors, let 'em eat.

That's one of the more common sense approaches that educators/experts have proposed, but even that's gotten push back from people believing it would make them too soft. Or for other ridiculous reasons.

Schools can support the social and emotional needs of students​

A lot of the conversation around making schools safer has centered on hardening schools by adding police officers and metal detectors. But experts say schools should actually focus on softening to support the social and emotional needs of students.

"Our first preventative strategy should be to make sure kids are respected, that they feel connected and belong in schools," says Odis Johnson Jr., of Johns Hopkins University's Center for Safe and Healthy Schools.

That means building kids' skills around conflict resolution, stress management and empathy for their fellow classmates – skills that can help reduce all sorts of unwanted behaviors, including fighting and bullying.

In its report, the Secret Service found most of the school attackers they studied had been bullied. And while we are still learning about what happened in Uvalde, early reports suggest the shooter there was a regular target of bullying.

Jackie Nowicki has led multiple school safety investigations at the U.S. Government Accountability Office. She and her team have identified some of things schools can do to make their classrooms and hallways feel safer, including "anti-bullying training for staff and teachers, adult supervision, things like hall monitors, and mechanisms to anonymously report hostile behaviors."

The Secret Service recommends schools implement what they call a threat assessment model, where trained staff – including an administrator, a school counselor or psychologist, as well as a law enforcement representative – work together to identify and support students in crisis before they hurt others.

Plenty of psychology majors, early child development, and teachers out there doin' it because issa easy check. Most of them soft anyway.

You gotta Deebo these youngins.

"Homework check, regulation."

Most these school shootings happenin' because student don't respect the adults, who signify authority.
Issa authority problem, you don't gotta black nobody eye but you gotta counsel young adults at all times as a teacher.
Administration so fukked up they don't want teachers to be an authority or counseling figure. Whole education infrastructure gotta be redone.
Most teachers there now outdated or underqualified. They got poor people skills.

Teachers need to be allowed to bring the blicky too school to protect themselves and the students. If I was a teacher, I'd risk getting fired for bringing mines. IDGAF

If I was a teacher I need a massive pay increase if I gotta John Wick for your kids. Not everybody built like that

shyt would be a bloodbath but that's what WW1 and 2 were. Germany was basically what America is today before ww1. They had some of the best militaries thanks to this a$$hole:

Germany took on England, France and America in ww1. WWII could've ended with a win if Russia didn't get in that ass.

You have two choices, ban guns or don't ban guns. IF you ban them you have to take them all away. Otherwise if you take away the AR-15, then they are going to switch to the next popular thing, it becomes a never ending game of take x away and make more restrictions. But taking guns away does not solve the problem. The problem is we have a mentally screwed up generation that feels they are the center of the universe and nothing else matters but how they feel. They haven't had to deal with adversity and when they face it they don't know how to handle it. We have a mental health crisis and all we are doing is feeding into it with all of this intersectionality BS. Not one person who did a mass shooting was remotely sane. That's the core of the issue. Take away all the guns they are going to use cars and knives or home made bombs. Guns are mearly the tool.

Also do you really want to go and actually ban guns without a constutional amendment? That's a huge slipperly slope that will lead to no where good. If you can ignore that amendment what else are you willing to ignore all in the name of safety. Its a disengeuous arguement.

A gun ban would lead to a civil war. What's funny is people say well you can't fight the military. Who do you think makes up mosst of the miltary? Most liberals damn sure are not serving and most of the military is Pro-gun. As soon as a commander gave an order to kill American's its over. Soldiers won't listen to that.

I am 100% pro second amendment. However, if a constitutional amendment passed to repeal it. I would abide by it. I wouldn't like it, but I do believe in the principles that crated this country.

I'm a liberal in the military. Gotta rep the set

I know on the surface it seems illogical due to police brutality, controversial killings - but name the last time a police officer or 911 dispatcher committed a mass shooting
