Should Teachers be allowed to carry guns to school?

I'm a pretty pro gun kind of liberal. But guns in schools is just fucking insane. A school shootings much more likely to happen when you arm teachers.

Sure kids got mouths on them...

*Sigh*

 

i really don't have a problem with it

the chances of a school shooting are really fucking low...its just that the news keeps it in the media forever.

but i really have no problem iwht more people having guns

 

Now parents are supposed to feel safer sending there kids to school teachers with guns?
Good thinking~!

 

I think the bus drivers should, those little boogers act crazy as hell on a bus...

 

why not arm the kids too and they can all shoot it out

 

Of course it's low. The chances are one in 170,000,000 to one in being murdered in school.

That seems like a reason teachers don't need to be carrying guns to work. I don't have a problem with people having guns. Just taking them with them while they do to educate children.

 

I say swords and machetes...

 

Agreed.

 

Hell no. If they want to protect themselves from a shooting then get rid of the fucking guns, instead of bringing more in.

 

of course not

If anything, just have students go through a metal detector at the front door

 

i'm thinking its going to help curb escalated fights from happening more than anything. the kids are going to think twice before things get bad if a teacher is able to pull a gun on them

 

thats retarded

there is no need to have guns simply to stop students from fighting, especially if police or a security guard can be called

 

Teachers should be allowed guns, especially with the uprise in school shootings. Maybe if someone put a bullet in the head of the aggressor before a bunch of kids become victims, would-be school shooters would think twice.

Schools usually get targeted due to the fact they KNOW no one there is armed which in turn makes a shooting rampage a lot more easier.

 

Guns don't kill people, people kill people. But still guns should be prohibited in the U.S. not just there but worldwide man. I don't want my future son or daughter gettin' shot at. One world government founded on peace, love, an' respect for all, not more people killin' more people every year. Sure deaths related to guns may not be as common in school but what about in the world outside???

I'm tired of seein' the world as it is. Its time to make the world better. For me, you, an' the children of tomorrow.... Don't just sit there an' let our rights an' lives be taken like nothin' more than a penny in the pocket of a millionaire

 

Statistically that would vastly increase the likelihood of a school shooting.

I knew of two teacher in high school who might go overboard at anytime.

 

How quickly we forget about places like Columbine High School and Jonesboro School District in Arkansas which combined killed 14 people and wounded 40 others

All principals, teachers, and adult hall monitors, trained in the use of handguns should be allowed to carry concealed weapons



Hotwater

 

"Mentally ill teacher, fires at 14 year old student killing her/him, because....."
A future headline for that district.

 

No fucking kidding. That's super retarded.

Just give the teachers mace then. Don't shoot people to break up fights.

And most schools do have security guards.

 

Turning schools into prisons sets a bad precedent as well.

 

Yeah. In two years there'll be one teacher who flips the fuck out because of this 'protection' against one horrible thing that happened one time.

You're overreacting to gun violence by bringing in guns to school,
