    A Stoneman Douglas High School teacher who sheltered students in her classroom during the deadly shooting on Valentine's Day said arming teachers with guns is "not a good idea." http://abcn.ws/2HMvVyY pic.twitter.com/yzWqTX82o7

        My god, can you imagine being a black, male teacher holding a gun when the cops run into the school looking for the active shooter? The cops would shoot the teacher on the spot. #NoArmedTeachers

        Teachers have been underpaid for years. The @GOP and Trump, are only willing to give a teacher a bonus, if they agree to become educator & executioner! This is sickening. How about a bonus for teaching Math? Science? Reading? Art? Music? History? Etc. #WakeUpAmerica #VoteGopOut

        If teachers are underpaid, how about picking another profession? Job descriptions change all the time, they need to change with the times or leave.

        Our needs haven't changed. Education is a public good. An educated population improves GDP. It improves the health and well being of everyone in the community. Guns undermine the public good.

        Drugs undermine the public good. They kill more students than guns every year. How’s that going so far?

        I’m just saying if we take away all the good guys guns, there will be a huge black market that will leave all the guns in the criminals hands. We can’t keep meth from coming across the border, guns won’t be any different. Mental health is the real issue

        The U.S. doesn't have greater mental health issues than any other western nation. Yet far more gun related injuries and deaths. All societies deal with drug issues. The answer is evidence based harm reduction programs.

        How can anyone trying to protect a life be okay with no defense mechanism? Poor reporting leaves the defenseless in a no-win situation. Stay armed America!

        I grew up in #Flint. We had metal detectors from middle through high school. Shame it was necessary but we also didn’t have these problems in school.

        Trained armed security in all schools. its not a good idea to arm the teachers. I am a firm believer in immediate termination of an armed killer targeting our students or schools.
