Actually, either would be rare. There have been no such incidents reported in schools where teachers are already armed. And you're trying to make the claim it's better for kids to sit there and get killed with nobody there to defend them than it is having the extremely unlikely situation of a kid getting a hold of the teachers gun. Maybe the teachers should walk to work because some kid might steal their car keys?????
I like how you qualified your excuse. No my claim is that its retarded to arm teachers with guns that they either cant get to in time or the students have access to. They should hire armed guards for the school.
Who said armed guards? What we are saying is allow them the ability to protect themselves and their students in the unlikely event they are targeted for a mass killing. I'm a CCW holder, but it's not my business to protect my neighborhood, bank or convenience store. I carry to protect myself. It doesn't deputize me.
I said armed guards.
Their job is to teach. Not be armed guards. Those are 2 professions that shouldnt be combined. They both require full attention and diligence.
How did you make this about guards? Teachers are not going to be guards and you can't find me one person who said they should be. Just like walking the streets, just like driving your car, people have guns for self-defense, and there is no realistic reason why they shouldn't.
I want you to tell me that if there was a school shooting and your daughter was a student there, you would rather her be totally unprotected than to have her in a class with an armed teacher.
