    Know any awards shows where they arm the presenters? Or banks where they arm the tellers?https://twitter.com/dloesch/status/1080991915754049536 …

    Stadiums have this security, so do awards shows and banks. Are they prisons? Or are our children and educators not worthy of the same protection? https://twitter.com/SophieInCT/status/1080991439046234113 …

        I am finally realizing if there were stricter gun laws we wouldn't have worry about the wrong people owning weapons.

        Register all weapons - the owner of record is liable for all crimes committed with the weapon unless they can demonstrate they had it properly secured and made timely reporting of any theft. Universal background check - nobody buys without reasonable precautions.

        It must be so exhausting to try to point out the illogical arguments of @NRA, but many of us appreciate that you call them out every time!

        Yoga studios where they arm the instructors? You know, so the students can really relax and enjoy a stress free class 🙄

        Often the speakers at NRA conventions are armed but then again they don’t allow attendees to carry Maybe honest consistency isn’t what they are going for

        It’s a sick and obvious ploy to get all that govt $$ going to fun sales for teachers... but we can’t find school supplies or pay teachers a fair wage.

        I used to be in banking. There was NO security person at my branches. No one had a gun. There were cameras, microphones and exploding dye packs in the bait money. That was all.

        They now have armed security at the Best Buy near me, in a really low crime area. The wording on their vest indicates they’re off duty cops so at least they (theoretically) have proper training HOWEVER Mrs. Miller the kinder teacher, shouldn’t have to be armed ☹️

        I am a retired Marine. I was a weapons instructor. My wife is a teacher. She can barely get the paper and crayons she needs. Does anyone understand the cost and failure rate for advanced skills training like CQB and counter assault? Also, she would quit teaching.

        And the sheer number of schools and teachers plus the ongoing training necessary to have proficient response to an emergency. There are simply better ways to face the problem.

        Shooting a pistol is not as easy as people think. Most people miss. Add in chaos and children all around and most people would freeze.
