If They Start Arming Teachers With Guns...

If they start arming teachers with guns, and there's a school shooting, then officials had better check the bullets that have penetrated the kids. There needs to be confirmation whether those bullets came from the gunman's gun or from the teacher's gun! I don't believe that an armed teacher will have the wherewithal to be able to shoot the gunman...I think the teacher will be so nervous that he/she may accidentally shoot a student instead! I think arming teachers with guns will lead to more innocent lives being shattered!

1. And if this is what teaching becomes, it will discourage the very people who should be teachers

and attract people who absolutely should not be teachers.

2. Other postings here

talk about kids overtaking the teacher and taking the gun (Jr./Sr. High).
Another talks about a Mom/teacher not wanting to have to choose between saving the life of a student or saving her children's mother!

It's an insane idea - more of the "if good guys had guns" nonsense coming from the killers at NRA!

3. Yes, what could possibly go wrong?

4. I think many teachers will resign and our public school system will

struggle and collapse. Then the GOP will be happier.
