TEACHERS CARRYING GUNS

[papasmerf]

Minimum 2 years and remain in reserves till a certain age. A Country with 6 million people can put 1 million into service if need be.

never a bad plan

But, do we want to live in a society like Israel's? I would hope that that is a last resort.

I suspect we may have to for a generation or so.

Back in the day I was so against the cops bringing the dogs through.
After my baby was born I liked the idea of bringing them through once a week
Still do. I also feel that making the schools safe is far more important then not offending a few people.

Ms Theobald was scary enough in 10th grade history with out her packing heat. Somehow, proliferating an arms race never seems to work. IMHO arming teachers is a huge mistake. Only highly trained people should carry weapons.

I agree with you LG. I'd hate to see the day when teachers are packing heat.

Good news! A Canadian retailer has Barrett M99 0.50BMG in stock.

Effective distance of 1,500 yards. You could put a sniper in each community. He can cover the elementary school and the highschool at the same time?

A bit pricey

A bit pricey

yeah, like a 25% premium over what Muricans would pay.

not only that but for a hell of a lot less you can get a decent 30/30 or .3006 with scope and have a great rifle

Stop the dirty talk. I'm getting wood.

one of the things that burns me up is people think that you need rapid fire monsters for protection.

Them folks in general watch too much TV

 

[RAWD]

Them folks in general don't know how to shoot.

ain't that the truth

I will admit semi-autos can be fun for targets.

Still I see them as a huge waste of money

This goes back to my earlier point. I don't want to see armed security trained in basic firearms handling or a well-armed guard at a school. With all those kids around, I want that person to be a crack shot. One shot, one kill.

basic training

 

[RAWD]

basic training

Yeah, in DEVGRU maybe! Security training is nowhere near that demanding round these parts.

Maybe it is me....But instead of Arming people...We has a Society should be
looking into what is causing this....How we can solve this problem...and work towards
a solution other than Arms....

So if you arm the Teachers with guns then the next Idiot will bring in bigger
Guns....Bombs...etc.....They will come in Gangs.....then what.....
Arming Teachers....How about that one Teacher who goes off for a moment...or
uses the weapon as a way to control young children....

All we are doing is putting a band aide over it for now until the next time....
and the next time....

BLiss

you do not address the problem of reality.

Someone walks into a school with a gun

Check the body for ID

Words and a more civilized society will work.................just not over night. So until they work 100% you still need to accept the idea that one child killed in school is too many.

It's a pretty f*cking sad day in any society when teachers have to carry weapons.

+1.

Sad enough when it has only reached the topic of discussion.
