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

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

One more may have stopped 18 children from being slaughtered

no no no you need to bring sanctimony to a gun fight.

I support armed security guards in schools

I don’t support untrained teachers engaging in shootouts

Nobody is saying have untrained teachers carry weapons. Training is of utmost importance. It's mandatory to take a concealed carry class in many states, and highly encouraged in others.

Mr. Ken Paxton, the AG here in Texas told Newsmax that it was time to arm our teachers and have shootouts in the playground - that will help solve the school shooting issue here in Texas. I hope teachers get a little bit of training that way when a 5 year old asks them "What is that, Mrs. Jones?" she can give a strong answer "That is in case Mrs. Jones needs to blow a shooter's brain out, Timmy - go back to recess."

Thoughts on telling teachers to get armed and be ready for a gunfight?

Maybe not the teachers but every school needs at least one armed security.

Humming Kumbaya?

 

[Confederate Soldier]

Sheep do that

Have guns, or take bullets?

Get slaughtered

My only caveat is are there enough modern day teachers that would put their life on the line? That had what it takes to take on that level violence?
I know there are some but enough?
Remember when that kid killed the students in Florida & there was a cop right outside crouched behind the wall without the guts to go inside & try to stop it while it was still ongoing? That was a trained cop too. Granted he was obviously a coward & rightfully fired but still

We would need to stop all shooters with ARs from entering.
Why wasn't that school more secure? Two locking doors can trap shooters like a rat.
Its suicide for a cop/guard with a pistol to have a gunfight with an AR.
Pistol v pistol is a fair fight.

Have guns, or take bullets?

Correct.

Quit passing the responsibility to others who won't respond in time.

everybody is responsible for their own security.

 

[kyzr]

Maybe not the teachers but every school needs at least one armed security.

Plus controlled door access.

Not MORE guns, just more responsible people with guns. If a shooter could be stopped, even if the chance was slim, would you want to have that fighting chance? Do you just want to cower and take the bullet?

I think a better view is…are you pro-active or reactive?

 

[Coyote]

Sheep do that

Sheep have no concept of prevention.

Sheep have no concept of prevention.

Neither do leftists.

30 grand stipends for teachers that are willing to carry. Training provided for free.

 

[Coyote]

Neither do leftists.

Or rightists.

 

[initforme]

30 grand is like nothing.

 

[johngaltshrugged]

What do you mean? They are gonna die anyway. May as well shoot back.

I mean I'm fine with arming teachers but they will probably only have a sidearm & may not be up to fighting back.
Trained & well armed security guards are even better. A high capacity 12ga with buckshot can stop a lot of problems real quick

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Or rightists.

We're armed. Try again

 

[Confederate Soldier]

I think a better view is…are you pro-active or reactive?

In what regards? In a shooting situation, or actively pining for policies?

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Or rightists.

Deterrence is the best prevention.

More guns = Deterrence

 

[johngaltshrugged]

Plus controlled door access.

I think that is one of the main keys.
Doors like bank vaults & secure access only.
Protect the kids better than we do money because they are worth so much more
