Do it for the teachers! Lets have street legal AK-47s that will allow our educators to go toe to toe with an AR-15 wielding teenager.

Rocket-Propelled Grenade.

It's right there in the name.

and spit tobacco? This is not an old Western movie. Shit, are we supposed to wear them during parent/teacher conferences too? Fux Ruse has to be taken off the air permanently. Their propaganda is dangerous to American citizens' health.

Also, teachers wouldn’t be paid anymore as an education militia person.

Maybe once trained, teachers might be required to patrol the border “during their summer off.”

People must recognize that, right?

Why would they not be feeling safer??

And allow in Congress...elimimate security altogether and save tons of money. Armed citizens and lawmakers will provide the security....the good guys with guns!

Honestly if I was a teacher and heard that I'd be so pissed

It is literally insane.

whatever fantasy they have. We are coming for the guns...wait for it.

Public and private, in the US.

They want to arm everyone?

Stupid people.

...rather than start a classroom arms race.

to protect faculty, staff and students that might come under siege?

It's way too early to say that guns are here to stay.

Wonder how many kids would die by the millions of guns being stored away in classrooms...and if properly secured how many would die before anyone could get them out of their lockers and loaded and searching for the gunman?

Ridiculous idea.

Again, ridiculous.

NOT armed teachers.

What you're advocating is batshit insane.

We've had assault weapon bans in the past and they proved successful. Arming hundreds of thousands of teachers is an idiotic idea.

In response to the metoo# movement, some folks might argue that sexism and misogyny are here to stay. Thus, Republicans have argued that women should dress modestly and avoid situations where they are alone with men unless the man is accompanied by his wife. Heck, not too long ago, you had Republicans blowing off rape:

http://www.nytimes.com/1990/03/26/us/texas-candidate-s-comment-about-rape-causes-a-furor.html

The Republican gubernatorial nominee apologized today for an off-the-cuff remark suggesting that some victims of rape should ''relax and enjoy it.''

The candidate, Clayton Williams, had initially played down the remark as being a joke.

Women's groups and political opponents of Mr. Williams strongly criticized the candidate for the comment.

It ''questions his ability to understand the kinds of problems faced by the people of Texas,'' said Ann Richards, the State Treasurer and a runoff candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. ''Rape is a crime of violence.''

It's the dumbest idea I've ever heard, and Fox Entertainment has provided a countless number of them over the years.

My wife is a teacher and not only does she not want to have a gun she is scared if she did have a gun she would shoot an innocent on accident.

The idea you are going to turn some of the kindest people in our society into gun toting rambos is so silly it is hard to believe anyone takes it seriously.

Let's mount artillery batteries on the roofs. encircle the grounds with a moat and razor wire. install pillboxes near all the entrances. give all the kids gas mask and add mustard gas tanks tied to the ventilation system so we can flood the hallways with it if a terrorist shows up.

and then the terrorists will just go shoot all the kids at the movie theater instead.

6 weeks of basic training with an uzi, a few minutes to learn how to properly give change and turn on the popcorn machine.

THEN we will be safe and happy.

By a lot.

Maybe Bibi can talk some sense into Shitler next month.

Good night, oberliner, already had one OP hidden for daring to question...time for hot milk and honey.

Here comes professor Proudlib with his minigun....



Feeling safe yet?

and frankly many of us would be, then the guns would be worse than useless. My being armed would be worse than useless. I can't see me being able to actually shoot a gun and kill someone. Add in the fact that I am a woefully unathletic man and arming me defines uselessness.

I don't think that makes me either a bad person or a bad teacher. I know what it is like to be on the receiving end of bullying at school and I also know the dark thoughts that can come from that place. Had my family had guns, I might well not be around today. The thing is that it only takes one moment when there is a gun to lose someone. That moment when you think that tomorrow isn't and can't be worth it is the moment when having a gun can be deadly to either the person or the rest of us.

If we don't deal with guns the carnage will never end. Arming teachers won't solve this. It will cause teachers to leave the profession.

Teachers can't even get the supplies they need to teach.

...I can see teachers having better access to ammo, then they do to pencils and books. Even some on the left (see above in the thread) are embracing Judge Napolitano's idea of a classroom arms race as a good thing.

would quit. Good luck with that idea.

but seriously, what do we think is the answer? I really do not know.

if the only answer is better armament we end up with everyone running around with bazookas. It is just stupid on it's face.

I had one tell me that schools “should be a fortress”— and tried to say there were no shooting in courthouses or police stations. Completely removed from reality, ie who would pay for the extra security at schools? Not Republicans, they barely want public school. Why should kids feel like they are in a war zone, how is that healthy?

I had tried to start a reasonable conversation with certain people I know, what I discovered is conversations are not what these people want, they WANT polarized arguments. It’s the weirdest shit. They are not good friends, the ones I was talking to, and all of them are slightly off, if you know what I mean.

Or maybe that's the point. Raise millions of fearful young people who will look to authority for the answers.

And all the Congressmen. And all the Senators. And all the judges. And all the Presidents. And all the Billionaires.

In my hometown the police have a rule. If they go to a school when they were not called in on official business ,they do not bring their gun.
If an officer is in school to teach a class, have a meeting, go to their child's class,etc, they go in unarmed.
There is too much danger of a child trying to grab a weaponl


Now you want teachers armed and carrying at all times. You are asking for disaster.

How many stories are there of police weapons accidentally causing serious injury?

You do not want all teachers armed.

is a good kid with a gun, right?

"Guns For Kids" could turn out to be very, very profitable! Trillionaires!!! Go get 'em, Wayne!!!!!!!!!!
