My State of Texas Tells Teachers: TIME TO ARM - YEEEHAW!

[initforme]

Offer a stipend...like 10 thousand dollars, if they will carry the firearm and undergo taxpayer funded training.

Actually a good idea

 

[initforme]

Of course it is. And 10grand is nothing.

 

[mudwhistle]

They' already done that and shooters are just bringing guns to school The Parkland Shooter had an armed guard at the school He saved no one. When the shooting started, he ran away.

If you're going to arm the teachers, they should be paid as much as the police for the risks they're being asked to carry.

That was a deputy, not a guard, who showed up at alot of Democrat parties after the shooting.
If anything...he was there to keep the police from going in......till they had a big enough of a body-count.

Armed school resource officer 'never went in' to school during Florida shooting

The sheriff said the revelation made him "sick to my stomach. There are no words I mean these families lost their children."

Everyone needs a gun. No background checks necessary. It'll solve everything.

 

[OKTexas]

Better armed and a chance than unarmed and a sitting duck

Yep, I carry every day. Just like insurance, better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Seems to me the state oughta leave the question of armed teachers or security guards with the parents and community. If a school district wants to have armed teachers and/or security guards then so be it. If not then the parents can opt to put their kids in a private school or homeschool 'em.

Hubby and I both carry.

Make the stipend 20 grand. 10 isn't anything. It's a slap in the face.

So you would support arming teachers if they got a pay raise, or are you being disingenuous as usual? By the way, most teachers are paid more than police officers on an hourly on-duty basis.

 

[jwoodie]

Make the stipend 20 grand. 10 isn't anything. It's a slap in the face.

Not all teachers would have to be armed. Let some of them volunteer and, after a serious background check and firearms training, pay them a stipend. Of course, this would be opposed by teachers' unions unless everyone got the stipend.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

I support armed security guards in schools

I don’t support untrained teachers engaging in shootouts

So train the teachers and then they're no longer untrained teachers.


I've had a shit ton of training and it's not difficult. I'm quite certain teachers can figure it out.

 

[initforme]

If one volunteers then they get the stipend of 20grand. That's next to nothing.

I used to think arming some teachers was a good idea but it seems most of them are gender bender groomers now. Arming the mentally ill is a bad idea.
Back in the day my schools had multiple male teachers that could have put up some serious resistance but the lefties have taken over since then. Low testosterone betas are no defense.
More security guards I guess. Gun free zones are just easy targets these days

We don't need to arm all teachers. Just a few in each school will do.
Many teachers are veterans, or NRA, or competitive shooters already.
Men can wear jackets, women have purses. Guns should not be visible.

I believe its a wise precaution that will hopefully never be needed.

Following the massacre in Buffalo over the weekend by a teenager we are hearing the same load of crap from politicians that we heard following Columbine, Sandy Hook, San Bernardino, Orlando, Las Vegas, Sutherland Springs, Parkland, El Paso, N.Y. City subway, and countless others.And nothing got done. Nothing will get done following the Buffalo massacre.

There will be another mass shooting before the month is over. Indeed, there were at least five other mass shootings since Friday coinciding with the Buffalo massacre.

That was written eight days ago. No, I can't see the future. We all knew this was going to happen.

The AP reports, "An 18-year-old gunman opened fire Tuesday at a Texas elementary school, killing 14 children, one teacher and injuring others, [Republican] Gov. Greg Abbott said, and the gunman was dead.

"It was the deadliest shooting at a U.S. grade school since the shocking attack at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, almost a decade ago.

"The gunman entered Robb Elementary School in Uvalde with a handgun and possibly a rifle, Abbott said. Officials have not revealed a motive for the shooting, but Abbott identified him as Salvador Ramos and said he was a resident of the community that’s about 85 miles (135 kilometers) west of San Antonio."

Republican controlled Texas passed an open carry law in 2021. "A new pro-gun law in Texas that went into effect [in September 2021] allows most Texans to legally own a firearm and carry it openly in public without obtaining a permit, training, or background check," CNN.

Once again, nothing will change. The Republican Party will once again prevent life saving laws to be passed. Here is why.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is a 501(c)(4) organization it says of itself, It is widely recognized today as a major political force and as America's foremost defender of Second Amendment rights.In 2013. The NRA contributes heavily to the Republican Party, and the GOP has for decades stymied gun control measures in Congress.

At the same time Republican states are passing laws that enable government control of pregnancies, and many wonder what freedoms will be next.

There is tragic irony in that the Republican Party is passionate about protecting the life of the unborn but has no interest in protecting the lives of the born, children and adults alike. Their decades long struggle to permit dangerous people like Salvador Ramos and Payton S. Gendron to own guns prove that point.

It is safe to say the Republican Party is fast becoming dangerous as they also are attacking the integrity of America's free elections, the very foundation of our democracy.

The Republican Party expects to win control of Congress in November.

The forum's Republicans will not respond to the issues contained in this report.

How do you prevent a nut with a gun from doing this?

 

[kyzr]

That was a deputy, not a guard, who showed up at a lot of Democrat parties after the shooting.

Similarly in Sandy Hook, the door was locked and the shooter was let in with his gun.
There is no defense for stupid people.
Whoever let that shooter in must be having nightmares every night.

Shoot him.

List the issues and I will gladly debate them

 

[Devils_Advocate]

All Schools should have armed security that are either retired Police, Military or off duty officer…

All across America and it should be two.
