DeebieSkeebiesits fucking odd we live in such a police state that we are considering having educators rock fucking .38 snubs on their hip. if that's not an issue to you, then I don't know what else to say.
also people still un-ironically rooting for this guy should be shot while we are on the topic of guns.
Titus69Dudes a fucking joke a group of kids at school are on his campaign and one of them actually is with the guy a lot whenever he comes to NH I thought the kid was joking at first but actually wants him as president....As long as Hilary and Trump arent in office Im cool.
DeebieSkeebiesfirst election im able to actually vote in and its just full of undesirables. I don't even know if bernies legit, I have a feeling hes going to be Obama 2.0. where he says a bunch of shit then just coasts on through 8 years.

SFBthats dumb, keep an armed resource officer at the school.
THEDIRTYBUBBLEHow about instead of giving teachers guns, we just have full time, highly trained, armed personnel on site.
SkiBum.I think metal sectors in all schools is the next step
AnathemaThe best thing about this thread is all the people that agree.
And then when a student gets a hold of a gun when teachers are out of class, or a teacher loses their mind / doesn't know how to use a gun properly and gets more people killed, the solution is what? Now we give the kids guns!
For fucks sake, you guys have to be joking. How can you be this stupid?
What, blow trillions of dollars training security sniper teachers? Your education system is already in the shitter, and you want to add another variable to the equation and not only have your teachers attempt to instruct a curriculum, but be cops too? Yes, lets give Mrs. Mayes, the 73 year old sweet little old lady with the same salary as a garbage man a fucking gun so that when razy Joe comes in shooting people up and the place is in a panic, SHE'S READY TO SAVE THE DAY!
Like I said, it's more likely that some 14 year old smart ass gets a hold of that gun than her "saving the day like a true American hero"
Lol you guys are a total fucking mess. Just have another civil war already so you can start the restructuring. It's been too long.
JAHpow*says guns in school will cause more shootings, concludes that only solution is kill hundreds of thousands of each other in civil war*
Logic!

S.J.W"highly trained"
Security guards make 28k to 30k. See how much someone wants to be a hero with that salary...
Lus146Honestly guns shouldn't be in America they just cause too many problems and make it too easy to commit crimes.
saskskierwe train teachers and staff to pay better attention to their kids. Kids don't just 'snap' and decide to shoot a bunch of people. They are on a pathway with all kinds of risk factors. Maybe it's issues at home, bullying, school performance, mental health/depression/self-esteem issues, etc.
If teachers actually engaged with their students, they would likely pick up on changes in baseline behaviour, attitude, etc, get the kid some help and stop a school shooting long before it reaches that point.
WattsDude, the system is so fucked and there's so little money in providing services for students struggling with things that they shouldn't have to that it's in no way the teacher's fault much of the time. I worked in a school last year, didn't teach, but was in a classroom with a teacher everyday and we had a student who was exactly the kind of kid you're talking about. Rarely came to school, and when he did he wouldn't do any work, would start fights, abuse classmates verbally, call the teacher a bitch (this was 4th grade), etc. We went through and filled out all the paper work to get this student a counselor and tutor to work with him one on one. Literally nothing ever came out of it. Didn't hear back for a few weeks, so we asked about it again, and were told it would take a few months to process and get something figured out. Nothing ever happened. There are so many more kids who need help than we have money, resources, and specialists devoted to trying to help them.
Yeah, there are teachers out there who don't take their job as seriously as they should, but it's really unfair to blame teachers for kids who need extra support not getting it, when the problem is often so much bigger than a lack of attentiveness/care from a teacher. When you're in a class with 25-30 kids, there's only so much time you can spend on just one student.

Granite_StateSo do you think its a good idea or not?
S.J.WDon't think you really understand satire...
saskskierI'm not trying to blame teachers, but surely trying to improve that system and preventing something from happening in the first place is going to be more effective than arming everyone?
Vitiligobut bottom line this will never happen in America
WattsOn the contrary, America is the only country in the world where this would ever possibly happen. Well, maybe Russia too.
louie.miragswe should promote a society who shames bullies and treats everyone as equals
Gods_FatherOr have a police officer at the school. We have them at things like golf tournaments, why not at a school?
