1. No shit.

[oioioi]

2. and no pencils - teachers would have to spend their own money buying ammo instead of supplies

because God forbid that public education could ever be adequately funded.

[Aussie105]

3. Only one door, arm teachers . . .

Blah, blah, blah.

All meant to distract you from a simple fact.

The average American civilian who craves ownership of an AR-15 is, by definition, unhinged, and should not have one.

But the distractions are working.
How many shootings since then?
How many people have thought . . . now, surely, is the time to do something to stop the carnage?

Yet the carnage continues.

America is at war with itself.

Live long and prosper . . . and try to stay out of the way of stray bullets.

7. Not unhinged, just wanted to learn a little gunsmithing

So I bought one assembled, and an unassembled lower. Then I learned the sad fact that most of the "gunsmithing" with an AR is like Legos. Disappointed, to say the least.

Put a few hundred rounds downrange into paper, and it's pretty much stayed in the case ever since. Fun, but kind of expensive for plinking, and kind of useless for normal hunting (too small for deer, too powerful for small stuff, and so on. Big Dog-sized animals, it might be OK for).

If the .gov wants to ban/buy back, I'll use the proceeds for an AC TIG welder.

4. I had someone tell me earlier that the victims

of the Pulse nightclub shooting should have been armed. In a nightclub. With alcohol. These people are brainwashed. They need deprogramming.

5. Good Grief! Have these idiots ever met any teachers??

My second grade teacher was old enough to be my grandmother's mother - and she liked to use a ruler on those who misbehaved. And our seventh grade substitute social studies teacher became permanent when the regular teacher was promoted to principal. She was not above grabbing students or shoving them around. You want to give her a gun??

Teachers are as different as ordinary citizens are. How many, these days, are trained in handing guns - or would want to be?? Most teachers have a calling because they like kids. That's all you need is a teacher who's untrained and afraid of guns expected to suddenly spring to action in a high pressure situation. And how many of those would up and quit if they were expected to take on such a responsibility on top of everything else expected of teachers today??

[Raine]

14. I had some teachers like that

one grabbed a kid and kicked him in the butt. One was literally a blue haired old lady. Another one would scream at the kids and then break down in tears. I shudder to think of any of them being armed with a gun.

[BigmanPigman]

6. I have not met a teacher who would ever consider

such bullshit. They would quit if it comes to that. There is a nationwide teacher shortage as it is. Who are going to teach the kids??????? Not armed teacher, I can tell you that and I know tons of teachers since I was one until about a month after Sandy Hook.

[orleans]

8. was sandy hook the reason you stopped teaching? nt

[BigmanPigman]

13. No, but it was the nail in the coffin.

I still can't sleep after a school shooting though.

[James48]

9. Here you go:

Tell the gun humpers that we need to buy every teacher their own AR-15, and ammo, and that every school needs its own practice range built. And to finance that, we,re going to begin levying a $1000 per weapon tax on the sales of AR style weapons, AND a $1 per round ammo tax as well.



(Note- I can’t find my sarcasm font).

11. Hah

Bingo

Signed,

A teacher

Note: a teacher I heard discussing this on our local npr called it “stupid talk.”

[calimary]

10. I LOVE these.

They sure speak to - and for - me.

[BWdem4life]

12. They don't really want to arm teachers.

They just want to distract, deflect, and muddy the waters.

[karynnj]

15. Even if a teacher wanted to be trained and have a gun, there are other things the teacher already do

In the short time from hearing there is a lock down, in Uvalde, the teacher had to get the kids in lock down and lock the door. In the one minute one teacher had, she got to the door to lock it when the killer did. Even if she had a gun, locking the door would likely have been the first step. As it was had she been seconds faster and under extreme pressure found the right key and locked the door, that, given the hour it took the police to go in, would likely have slowed but not stopped the killing.

If she had a gun, it would have been locked and unloaded. Not to mention, her gun would likely not have been a match for an assault weapon.

Remember the trained, armed police DID NOT GO IN even when there were many of them there. Why? Fear. Fear of a weapon that should be banned.

16. I want combat pay and full liability protection from incidents W my weapon.

[Chainfire]

17. Arming teachers teaches kids that firearms are necessary for everyone, even teachers...

It would be a tremendous win for the firearms industry.

[Iggo]

18. We armed the Uvalde police and trained them to fight. How did that go?

[867-5309.]

19. Don't expect teachers to confront active shooters when cops won't
