    Agreed. I don't casually dismiss this idea as crazy. But I'm also open to the possibility that it could do more harm than good. Either way, this should be a very small part of a comprehensive reform agenda to stop the trend of school shootings.https://twitter.com/philipaklein/status/967143889252634625 …

    I don't object to allowing teachers with training to carry, but I'm skeptical it will address issue. The right teacher has to be at the right place at the right time, and act perfectly under pressure. (1)

        If Scott Beigel was able to fire back while he was shielding those kids, who knows...I wish he had the chance.

        C’mon: police miss their targets the majority of time when under pressure or on the run.Who pays the lifetime care when teachers are injured

        Why is it the Republican Party thinks this gun issue is a winning one? I can assure you if the Democrats actually focus on this and not on DACA and immigration they will be very formidable in the mid-terms. Question is will they.

        Agree. The press, unfortunately, will only focus on arming teachers, no other ideas, because the idea is more divisive.

        Don't casually dismiss it as crazy. Seriously and forcefully dismiss it as crazy. It's really, really crazy. Don't warp the education system or the mental health system--both so important to so many people--to indirectly meet our gun problem. Address our gun problem.

        Also, the first time a teacher on edge shoots an unarmed kid its going to be really bad.

        Probably should kick a gun over to them and say 'Go ahead... pick it up...' first. I don't know why they would act any differently than an armed cop. They never shoot innocents....
