Either doesnt know enough teachers, hasnt worked in a school, or is a total moron.

and had to stop right after Sandy Hook but my friends are still teachers. One of them told me that some of the teachers in his high school in Southern CA support arming teachers. I was shocked. I asked him if he discussed it with them and he said he hadn't really. He doesn't like confrontations. If I were there it would have been a different story. Of course I got into trouble for voicing my opinion more than once in my life but I would have "schooled" those moronic teachers.
