Any suggestions? YES! follow Australia's lead. Tough gun laws and licences, ban the automatics/semi automatics. Buy back and surrender initiatives. Get guns out of the community only for those with a genuine reason.
Arming unskilled untrained people like teachers will result in more deaths, not less.

Australia is no where near perfect, we still have guns in the hands of crazies like the wild west shot em' up mob, and the membership of the SSAA. But we are working on it.

Prevention rather than cure.

If Issy had his way every senile old fool in the country would be armed and dangerous.
For you Issy, I would have your riding shotgun on the 'Mr Whippy' van. I can just picture it now, Mr Whippy and Issy roaring down the street, 'Green Sleeves' playing full blast. Issy firing away indiscriminately out the passengers window at the "bad guys"

To the sounds of a burst of machine gun fire!

Mr Whippy; "Issy me thinks that was a granny you just hit."
Issy; "No worries a bit of collateral damage, no more snow cones for her!" "Look a fella walking a dog at 2 o'clock, highly suspicious...locked on target." Fire!

Keep it up, Paul et al.

You all know that Trump is right, but you don't have the guts to admit it.

So what's your short term solution?

Haven't got any?

As I said, long on rhetoric but short on practical solutions.

Do you have shares in arms manufacturers or something, Is Mise?

We don't have a problem with school shootings in Australia. Arming our teachers is a solution to a problem that only exists in your paranoid, fevered imagination. I cannot understand how any sane person could seriously argue that arming teachers is a good idea unless they personally stood to benefit from it.

In fact, that particular suggestion is so far out of the ball park that it's impossible to take seriously. Your last couple of posts have come across more as satire than sincerely held views, and in accordance with Poe's Law that is how I am choosing to interpret them: a fairly simplistic and un-subtle parody of some of the more deranged gun nuts out there.

If you want to be taken seriously, I recommend not mooting arguments which are so comically absurd.

One of the gun freaks' stratagems for keeping the gun menace in place is to ridicule long term solutions and to claim there are only quick solutions or no solutions.

For a quick solution, the Yanks could try the John Howard solution which worked a treat in Australia and is so far holding despite the treasonable Yank-linked campaign to unravel it and drag Australia back under the gun.

The Yank process is complicated by the slave owners' Second Amendment but the obvious long term solution would be to repeal it. A more drastic but very attractive solution would be to kick the Reb states out of the USA and their operatives out of the Pentagon. Their current lunatic President wouldn't be up to the job.
