    Mental healthcare isn't exactly magic. People don't usually go from no signs of a personality disorder to mass murder. A good sign to give as an example would someone literally saying "I'm going to murder a lot of people," and you take that as an incentive to take him aside and talk to him. The most recent school shooter has done exactly that.

    It's also worth thinking about why this is such a localized phenomenon. Why is this happening primarily in the US and could it possibly have something to do with the accessibility of firearms and a lack of mental healthcare? Whatever the root cause is, arming teachers is the most retarded suggestion I have ever heard. There are at least two publicized instances of negligent discharges of a firearm in a classroom in the US and teachers are not currently carrying weapons. How do you prevent more of that happening when you increase the number of firearms in classrooms by a couple thousand percent?

    It isn't a localized phenomenon. The media hates guns (and America), so they only cover the topic in terms that make guns (and America) look bad.

    If I wanted to be bad at statistics, I'd talk about how Anders Breivik shot the statistics on mass killings through the roof for Norway. But I'm not bad at statistics so I won't mention it. The Breivik/Norway statistics don't tell us much; likewise these other statistics don't tell us much.

    lack of mental healthcare?
    I would certainly think that mental health is an issue. Concealed carry advocates are huge proponents of mental health.

    arming teachers
    Only the ones with as high of qualifications as cops.

    More kids would be saved.
