I just totally disagree with this fundamental concept that we are all safer if we are all packing guns.

We're pretty close to that now and it doesn't seem to be working.

Otherwise normal people don't snap and shoot students out of the blue.

Anyone that mental is more than mental enough to bring a gun to school. The rule in the book that says "teachers can't bring guns to school" is not much of a deterrent.

And it will be because someone is carrying a gun or becasue statistically the odds of someone going to a school and shooting 25 kids is so low? I bet most of the schools that don't get crazy people shooting the place up also don't have teachers with guns. Funny how that works.

I don't care though. It's not my kids teacher or class or school.

What does the fact of programing someone to a given ideology have to do with thinking them to be violent or murderous? Are you saying we should be worried about liberals? Should we be concerned? Are they violent thugs who would murder children? Hmm... You make an interesting point... maybe we should look into your suggestion of their behavior since you seem to deem them as such.

I hope they screen the teachers for psychological drugs.

In an era where teachers are having group sex with children, why do you trust them with guns?

Well...what stops a teacher that goes nuts from walking into a school and slaughtering a bunch of kids with a gun now? The sign on the door?

In Chicago, yes, they are compensated very generously. Too bad Black on Black violence among the youth there is so high otherwise more teachers across the country might want to teach there.

Teachers in Texas barely make a livable wage, but the QOL is also better. Illinois is full of scum bag liberal politicians who rub elbows with the mob. We have one of them as president right now.

Mentally unstable people can be parents too. Sounds like your child might have one. If one, ONE of those adults had been armed at the school in Ct., the entire outcome most probably would have been different. Something people like you can't seem to grasp.
