    Listen to what our teachers are saying. They want to be armed with books, not guns.

        Let's arm them with extra funding for education, student protections against discrimination, and meals for low income students

        I don't know if you know this, but defense spending just got an $80 billion bump in funding, which is less than the entire budget of the Department of Education. I don't disagree with you that the NRA didn't perpetrate this, but if we think arming teachers is the answer...

        Are you saying AARP is responsible every time someone harms an elderly person? If not, why not? Makes as much sense as NRA being responsible for something they hadn't a thing to do with.

        Their arguments just never make any sense. We will never educate them because their is no common sense. Where did our old democrats go? They were workers, middle of roaders, voted their conscience? How did you get to #AltLeft

        That’s the $65,000 question. Answer.....we’re all republicans now, because the left is so far left it’s off the charts. Totally unreasonable to the point of dangerous. Example: California. I rest my case.

        Have a daughter who is a Special Ed teacher and other daughter is a school nurse. Both have said they would reuse to carry guns and would quit if their schools started arming teachers. Neither has adequate supplies for classroom or nurse’s office.

        What kind of firearms training? What about liability insurance? Bullet proof vests? Gun safes? Rise in health ins rates because of armed personnel? All this requires funding and if schools are paying for this it’s less money that goes into classrooms.

        Not a requirement ,just an option,most people that want to help will already have training and all the safety measures ! Maybe.... This extra funding you speak of could come from our government,end PP and put that money towards protecting children instead of killing them ?!

        Most school monies come from the state & local levels. Many state education budgets have been slashed. Less than 10% of education money is federal. Schools work with less and less money all the time. Where do you suggest this money comes from? Raise taxes?

        Funny, but I'm a teacher, with a CCW, who would be glad to be armed to protect students and teachers.

        Your patriotism is much appreciated. Ms. Gillibrand is just a windbag for the Democrats. She shouldn't be taken any more seriously than Ms. Pelosi, Mr. Schumer, or any of the others who have a "(D)" symbol after their name.

        Agreed. I'm still so damn mad about how she both got rolled and managed to be a one-woman circular firing squad all in about a day. I'm a forgiving guy, but here not so much.
