    I'd bet 80% per cent of teen suicides could be prevented if the person had someone to talk to who wanted to listen. School shootings are a form of suicide.

    How would gun control stop this?

    How would teachers having guns increase this?

    I don't know, maybe you should ask someone who thinks that.

    so then you agree that gun control won't help, and arming teachers won't not help.

    now we're getting somewhere.

    Let me try to put this in more understandable terms. Gun control good, arming teachers bad. Guns bad, therapy good.

    There's no such thing as "gun control". It's really 'people control'. It's an important distinction to which the left is totally oblivious.

    And therapy only works if the person wants it, and most mass murders don't.

    Obviously gun control is shorthand for controlling people's access to guns.

    It's a bit late for therapy when they already are mass murderers. I'm sure there's plenty of ways to give special attention to high risk groups, identify and monitor behavioral patterns and early warning signs, invest in preventative care and be able to intervene in extreme cases. I don't know how to implement these, that's why they (should) have smarter people making policies. I'm sure all it'd take to see improvement is to invest in these things.
