I don't believe this solves anything, a teacher is paid to teach not die.
Gun owners calling for metal detectors and security. Definitely something that CAN be done. And a start.
Except security for protection looks a lot like security for confinement & our schools shouldn't resemble prisons.
I know. But still worth a try. To start.
This goes for paid metal detectors also. And will these be put in movie theaters, churches, concert venues, grocery stores a I mean - at what point is our unprecedented level of gun violence, the highest of any industrialized country, because of guns, and not everything else?pic.twitter.com/tlUEpMNojl
Teachers are the real first responders.
Well said , but respectfully, if the shooter entered your room would you feel safer with a 357 Mag or would you rather throw books at him and use harsh language or perhaps a time out to protect your students.There is no wrong answer, just pick one you can live with, pun intended
Well that's why they get paid the big bucks- oh no, wait.

This is asking too much of teachers - if they wanted to be human shields, they'd apply to the Secret Service. Get the gawd-damn assault weapons out of our civilian society.
@senrobportman, why did Scott have to die in the line of teaching? #enoughisenough #neveragain #icallBS #marchforourlives

And teachers get no respect in our country. They are underpaid and under appreciated.
I am a middle school teacher. I have pictured this in my mind. I would definitely shield my students from attack. I am an English teacher, who must be ready for combat or attack, on any day. There is something very, very wrong with that.
Please buy a gun and lobby for armed security at schools! You shouldn't be defenseless. Your job is teaching not self defense and shooting!
Wow. You contradicted yourself in a single tweet, good job! Teachers shouldn’t have to be armed, they’re there to teach.
would you rather be the teacher who dies taking a bullet for students or would you rather not die cuz you can defend yourself with a gun?
Wow. You guys are gonna win alot of folks over with such persuasive arguments. Oh NM. You're just gonna shout us down, act like toddlers. Ok
