        It’s one of the dumbest ideas I’ve ever heard. The. Worst. So many people will die / be injured from accidents. Then there is the issue of friendly fire in actual emergencies...

        Some guy is killing dozens of kids, and you think that the big worry is friendly fire. Idiotic. The armed teachers would be sheltering in place with students, waiting to defend against an invading shooter, not roaming the halls like SWAT officers.

        Enough with the hand wringing, nine states have already allowed teacher/admin carry without issue. My state has allowed it for 25 years!

        Then they were fucked from the start. Nothing is in place to keep a teacher from bringing a gun to school and doing that right now! Why the fuck do you idiots have to reach for the most outlandish example to come up with an objection to protecting school kids?!

        Owning a firearm is your right, training with that firearm is your responsibility.

        Possible Perspective : How about, I take your gun & beat you with it. Type of escalation. Easier, limit entry point during to one. Scan in identification cards, for staff, students, parents, etc...

        Because this will really deter SUCICIDAL people from entering schools with assault weapons.

        It will enable their would-be victims to stop them before they achieve a high death toll. How do you fools keep missing (or ignoring) the point?

        And you cling to the idiotic belief that possession of an AR-15 makes a person invincible. You obviously know nothing about this subject whatsoever.
