I want to start off by saying thank you for joining the debate I want to start off with a short claim and I want you to express how you feel or think about it, let's get started, if schools had weapons to use for future school shootings there will be less deaths and would keep the school safe. If the school won't allow a real gun why can't they use a byrna gun which is a non-lethal pistol, what is stopping us from doing that.

"If the school won't allow a real gun why can't they use a byrna gun which is a non-lethal pistol, what is stopping us from doing that."


Whatever ramifications the weapon has is prohibited to not risk them occuring in a pupil occupied environment.


Legally this is the case.


This is a different example that doesn't necessarily tie to legalities in the same way but cell phones are prohibited to not risk the ramifications of those things in a pupil occupied environment.


We can go down the list but the idea is, in a educational institution, many of these things such as these are inappropriate.


In terms of security, there's security personnel, there's even metal detectors in which I've experienced and the school grounds maintained relatively safe.


Amid all the school massacres, in an environment where immature decision making occurs mixed with having access to weapons, in answer to your question, this is the blow of what is stopping integrating these things.

Apologies in advance, but I was just skimming through the debates section and this proposition made me smile.

Voted for: con
I agree with the con, There has been no place in America where a mass shooting hasn't taken place, therefore that means that schools will still have mass shootings, and these damn lock down drills ain't doing anything if kids are still dying

Hmmmm...Why was instigator con?...And their contender was arguing for or against what?

So "Con" asks a short but reasonably coherent question and "Pro responds with a comparatively incoherent but lengthier answer.

Con gives up...Pro is left with nothing to go on...So on effort alone, Pro has it.
