America doesn’t actually lead the world in mass shootings
Of the 86 countries where we have identified mass public shootings, the US ranks 56th per capita in its rate of attacks and 61st in mass public shooting murder rate. Norway, Finland, Switzerland and Russia all have at least 45 percent higher rates of murder from mass public shootings than the United States.

Completely agree. That's why I teach active shooter scenarios for one of my jobs. At the end of the day, you can only protect yourself with whatever tools you have at your disposal so I try and get people to think clearly about how to best use that in a situation.

I've taught 2 different groups so far this week. Both groups were really thankful while also sad at the same time that this is where we are as a country. Both also understood that those gun free signs (one was a campus) didn't do anything to stop mass shootings.

But I guess it's just easier to change ******** pictures to flags and ban ghost gun assault rifle automatic cannon guns. Oh wait, this last one was a handgun. Hmmm......

Or we can look at the medication administration in this country and why damn near every (if not all) mass shooting is by someone on anti-psych drugs (not counting actual religious terrorist attacks)

Is this a private thing you do or is it part of police/military training? I'd like to find some advanced gun training in my area but most places only offer basic courses

My gf (teacher) has had a couple of these classes, had one like a week ago. Do they teach them to rush the shooter and use whatever they have at their disposal to subdue the shooter (hands, legs, claw, grab, etc)?

It's as follows: RUN. HIDE. FIGHT. In that order. However, when fight is the only option: If multiple people bum-rush an active shooter, they will overcome, given enough people and close distance. I've done these classes in a middle/high school setting: a class of pampered middle schoolers can take an active shooter with an AR out with minimal casualties, if they act fast and hard. Guaranteed.

Private thing. I did threat assessment work for a bit with one of my old government jobs so I just try to help out when I can with places that need a plan in place (usually for free) and also at one of my now jobs that requires some sort of training for all new employees.

Depends on who's teaching but yes (if the situation warrants it)

For instance, I just did one on Tuesday. With the way the doors were set up (windows in the center), barricading is only temporary if someone wants in. The hinges on the door behind the main door were pretty weak so 2 shotgun blasts would take the door off (if the shooter had a shotgun) BUT barricading behind 2 doors would make it a harder target than moving on so that was the immediate plan.

If shooter gets through that part, fire extinguishers are one of the best weapons you can possibly use against a shooter. Spray with one (right at the face) and then hit with another (they're heavy). I also put 2 tourniquets on the wall near the barricade spot as well as a chest seal in case of gunshot wounds to anyone innocent.

Every training depends on people working, location, door set up, hallway set up, 1st floor, 2nd floor, windows, etc. So every plan is different depending on all of that.

And yet, Snopes still says it'strue. Per capita, the US doesn't lead the world in mass shootings. Not even close.

It'd be like if there were only two countries in the world. One with a population of 100, and one with a population of 100million. If there is a single mass shooting in the 100 population country but it kills all 100 people, and there's a mass shooting every month in the 100 million country that kills 5 people every time, which one is safer?

Sure, there are more single incidents in the 100 million population country, but as a whole they're much rarer and less deadly.

No, a few people have recommended it in the past.

On dark days, like yesterday, I often consider the idea as well. We would have to teach children to ignore fear, which would make us very North Korean, in my opinion. We'd also have to get parents to buy into their kid would be sacrificed at any given moment (and taught this by the school system).

Assuming all of that happens, it could work. But again, we'd have to become a more cult like society to train kids at that age that their lives don't matter (in the short term) in order to preserve the lives of others (life matters in the long term).

These types of shootings would decline dramatically. But the NRA has conservatives like y'all in their pockets so this tragedy will do nothing more than increase gun sales as the lemmings are told that their gunz will be taken away so BETTER BUY MORE NOW!~!!~!!!

But I mean what's a hint? Prescribed zoloft 10yrs ago for post partum depression?

I'd take it 2 steps further: people that are prescribed psychotropic drugs (including heavy sleep medication) are not allowed to own guns. Also, no person is allowed to own guns in a house where a mentally ill/mentally medicated person resides.

It's a stupidly simple concept; yet when guns are your god, reality tends to escape.

It's a stupidly simple concept; yet when guns are your god, reality tends to escape.
I had to google psychotropic drugs because I was unaware what they were...this is mind boggling:



I can see why this is suddenly a buzzword to gun control crowds...
Denying access to firearms for people who had been prescribed these in the past would certainly deny access to millions of Americans...

Even if deservedly so, we could restrict the drugs themselves without infringing on our freedoms and possibly reduce the dependency on prescription drugs
That would be a win for everyone it would seem
