Well yeah why can’t a trained teacher have the means to protect herself and her class instead of letting them get shot or attacked?

What happens if a couple of kids decide to overpower a teacher and take their gun from them? Again, when professionals deal with these situations, they don't just send one person in to fire back, they secure areas and methodically work their way towards the gunmen (any situation not just schools). What happens if the professionals arriving at the scene just see a person firing/holding a gun and have a split second to make a decision? They had an armed guard at columbine, they had armed guards in Florida. But yno **** logic.

I'll just make some points here and bullet it to keep it simpler...
So as to the thread topic, I don't disagree with teachers having the ability to arm themselves. It shouldn't be compulsory though, just simply their choice. If the govt is incompetent, which let's be honest govt typically is, then citizens should have every right to protect themselves and each other... this is the moral thing to do, not to pander to rhetoric... Anyway, we can keep pushing for more laws and more laws, but in the end it won't keep criminals from being able to obtain them and thus citizens should be able to protect themselves. And with as many weapons in the US as there are today and also coming through black market from places like Mexico i.e. drugs, etc, that's a lot to ask of law-abiding citizens I think... whichever way we want to look at it... |

America was not founded on the right to bear arms, it was an amendment and not even the first one....

Has to be the worst idea!, Literally teachers with guns in schools which are supposed to be a safe & nurturing environment. Teachers baring arms will just make the situation a million times worse especially when innocent children are around and I can guarantee they'd be more casualties .

So he'd rather try and lessen the number of dead children by having the perpetrator themselves shot sooner by a member of staff in the school itself.
Rather than maybe prevent the shooting altogether by stopping handing assault rifles out like candy. |

The argument about teachers not having guns is like saying the cops should not have guns just a selection of cuddle toys and game consoles to bring the killing to an end.
Someone can tick all the boxes and still end up killing lots of people. |

It's much easier to enforce gun control when the effectiveness of using them is reduced. The first priority is surely to protect the vulnerable from harm. Once that is a priority and enforced, the usefulness of having a weapon will be diminished.

It's really easy to talk with such bravado when it's someone else's life. The fact this trained armed guard lost his nerve was a really sad incident, but it happens with trained soldiers too. Personally I'd like to think I'd run in there with my gun and take him out, but this isn't TV and I'm not Jack Bauer. I have no idea how I would react in that situation and neither do you. Teachers are educators not soldiers and schools are places of learning, not battlefields. If the solution to school shootings is throwing more guns into the mix, rather than taking them away then that just seems insane. There is no good reason for any civilian to have a gun.

How did you get to that comparison? A teacher is there to teach, that's their job, a Police Officers job is to tackle criminals

That's not what I'm asking and it's also a guess on your part. I'd like to know their actual opinions on the proposal

Well of course they do. Everyone knows that Mr Davies in 2nd period geography is desperate to pop a cap in a couple of homeboys asses.
