It's not a perfect plan by any means, but I was thinking on how discharged veterans, usually those who have been so dishonorably, are usually homeless and their benefits only help them to an extent. I may be wrong, since this is a quick thought with minimal research, so don't quote me on that, but what I propose is to give said veterans a career as armed security guards in public schools (and private, if necessitated). Of course, this wouldn't include all veterans. They would have to be mentally stable and have gone through mental checkup in order to do so, along with many other factors in order to be qualified.
It wouldn't just be schools either, as any place with need of security would be able to hire said veterans.

Essentially, my theory is that a properly trained ex-servicemen with advanced weapons training and proper experience with handling situations involving hostile gunfire would serve as a deterrent for potential mass shooters. In my mind, even a former marine/etc. with a handgun and proper cover training would easily have the advantage in an exchange of gunfire with a hostile gunman who has the single goal of killing as much people as possible. Said gunman knows they would only have a limited amount of time to accomplish this goal, and would therefore try to take out the guard as quickly as possible. However, the trained guard would be able to counter the threat more efficiently than an SRO or unfit police men who would usually only had experience dealing with low-caliber handguns, should they ever come under fire at all. Therefore, this properly trained security guard would be able to eradicate the threat with efficiency, minimizing casualties or even preventing a mass shooting of catastrophic levels.

Not only that, it would give said veterans a proper sustaining job so they would be able to buy a proper home and live life as a citizen among others, something they likely have longed for ever since they were discharged. As stated prior, not much research was done in maintaining this thought, but I would estimate that veteran homelessness would drop considerably, if not significantly. Of course, it can't put it to a halt completely, but reducing it to a minimal would be better than doing nothing at all to help them, I suppose.

Now, I realize this is a very, very bare bones proposition that would likely need a substantial amount of expanding upon, but when it comes to this very infant idea, what are you guys thoughts? Of course, this would be a government funded program, but I believe that it would be worth it in order to give veterans the proper treatment they deserve for putting their own country before their own lives.

Is this a good idea? A bad idea? An idea that has potential but needs more fleshing out?

tl;dr version: Give veterans jobs as armed security guards to decrease homelessness of veterans and potentially deter mass shootings.

Not gonna read this because it's obvious that it won't work

Do you think a 10 year old is going to come up with a plan before a think tank does?

Because I made the assumption that there were a few people on this hogwash sub-forum with the sufficient intelligence to discuss this idea. You seem to be proving me wrong.

Apparently you've all proven me wrong. As have I, thinking I could have a decent discussion with the degenerates of Off Topic.

'Give veterans jobs as armed security guards to decrease homelessness of veterans and potentially deter mass shootings.'

Can't they just go sign up to be a police officer? The job already exists.

As for deterring mass shootings, they'll still happen.

Bait.

@Blob

You're right, but most of the time they either don't get accepted into the force or they try to find another line of work. Not really a deterrent, but more of a factor that would help to minimize casualties in the case of a mass shooting.

Good idea.

But currently the government wouldn't be able to fund a program of this type.

Excellent argument.

@Dog

Yeah, that's the major problem surrounding the veterans of today. Government seems to be more wrapped up in external affairs than helping those domestically who direly need support.

We could do that.

Or we could cut a slice of budget from our military and put it into overhauling and fixing Veteran's Affairs.

...you realize that not all veterans are that old, right? You do realize that we now have Iraqi veterans and Afghan veterans? People much younger than 80 or 70? (You're being inconsistent with age) People capable of said tasks, should it be presented to them?

This idea is almost as stupid as flooding our countries with Syrian refugees who don't speak our language, have no formal education, and suffer PTSD from the things they have experienced in a war zone.
