Re: Teacher Discharges Gun In Classroom, Student Hurt

Yeah, we all know what would happen with everyone packin' at school. Arming teachers is the most idiotic idea ever. It does increase gun sales, so I can see why some are pushing that as the solution to our problems.

@JJsMom In all the years my husband was in law enforcement he says there was never an incident where an armed civilian saved the day.

It would add to the chaos. How would the police know if a teacher was a good guy or a bad guy? What if the teacher accidentally shot students while going after the killer? Who is going to pay for all of this? Teachers have to pay for their own ****** pencils yet we suddenly have all these funds to pay for guns, licenses, training, and ammo? I wonder who would profit from such a crazy idea?

@EatWell-You are correct.  What if.  Thankfully that did not happen.

Yes, thankfully it did not happen.  Unfortunately, there are people who couldn't care less the boy was hurt, as long as guns are allowed in churches, schools, everywhere.

 

They blame the students protesting, not shooters.

Many years ago «All in the Family» ran an episode where Archie Bunker was being interviewed as a man-in-the-street. The question posed was how to stop airline highjackings, a big problem in the 1970s. Archie’s answer: «Arm all your passengers.»

At the time, the line was hysterically ridiculous. Now we’re hearing, «Arm your teachers.” I think we’ve gone nuts!


Some have gone nuts, and the rest of us are witnessing it in disbelief.

In my area, the schools are having trouble keeping their campus gun free. Parents (some)come to school functions armed to the teeth. The other parents and teachers don't like it, and I don't blame them. I'm not  sure if it has been resolved yet ,or not


If there is a gun free zone sign at that school, anyone who comes onto campus carrying should be arrested. Those signs mean prosecution. Why isn't the school pressing charges?
