    Most teachers have little/no training in firearms, no combat experience, and would be a liability if anything I would rather they were not armedhttps://twitter.com/WalshFreedom/status/1126489437007941637 …

    This will help keep our school kids safe. And if you disagree, please answer this: An armed madman walks into your 8 year old daughter's classroom looking to kill. Would you want your daughter's teacher in this situation trained & armed, or not? It's your daughter. Be honest. https://twitter.com/PDWdefense/status/1126485602705260549 …

        Funny how these people never suggest Imams should be armed when there's a mosque shooting...

        So I posed this question to my 11 year old son. He was *horrified* about the idea of teacher having a gun in the class room.

        It comes down to probabilities. What is the change of x% of 3.6 million armed teachers loosing temper in class and becoming gunner vs change of gun being potentially helpful AND teacher using it correctly AND police correctly identifying the hostile from the teachers firing guns

        How many police get shot by friendly fire each year? Lots. And they are trained.

        The answer to every question is “ more guns”

        I’d rather we addressed a culture whereby somebody thinks they should go into a school with a gun. Much less start shooting people!

        Not to mention the inherent dangers associated with introducing a weapon into every minute of the school day. Imagine a child pulling on the gun while the teacher is distracted.
