The US just doesn't get it.



The remedy for too MANY guns is not to add MORE guns. And especially not to TEACHERS.



What idiocy comes up with this concept?

Schools in my province are required to hold lock down drills twice a year.

I've heard of this before. I dont know how I feel about it. Giving a teacher a gun, nah. If a teacher had taken a gun safety course, taken a concealed weapons course and gotten their permit, AND if they went through a more special rigorous course considering the profession, only then would I maybe considerate it.

Don't laugh folks, it's a vaild point. Rather than beat everyone for over the head with my fiscal conservatism and free market enthusiasm, Fash gave me my own thread.

Different issues.



One is about gun control.



One is about providing guns in schools.



A large school will have 50 teachers. At least HALF female. That's 50 guns in the hands of inexperienced users...and who have ZERO experience in a potentially death threatening crisis.



Its one thing to have a gun, kiddies. Its another world when you have to pull it out, aim and fire.



A LUDICROUS concept.



Oh, and I'm still waiting for a rational and sensible reason for gun ownership.

That's a "different" issue and demands a separate thread

Is anyone else feeling the urge to purchase a gun after reading all these gun related threads?  ac_dunno

No. I couldn't possibly fit another in my closet ... and the ones under the bed are spilling out

Guns are not bad, people are.



the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

 Agreed they should have training first, not just a gun in drawer they never shot before.



But no need anyway.  Like i said want to get rid of mass school shootings--One entrance, metal detectors and an armed security guard that's all it takes.  No need to arm teachers, no need to take away constitutional rights.

Tell that to the 17 good kids gunned down. Or the 54 concert goers.

So, schools should be just like airports, just as long as paranoid Americans can keep their machismo toys?
