I can see it now. A heavily-armed lunatic barges into Mrs. Beasley's first grade class. The teacher calmly reaches into her desk and pulls out her Glock 31. She takes aim and readily dispatches the assailant.
Or, more realistically
Adrenaline causes her to start firing wildly, while frightened and panicking children are running all over the classroom--getting caught in the crossfire between the two armed adults.
Without question one of the silliest things I've read on this subject.
Don't think much of women, do you? Been watching too many Hollywood films?
What kind of twisted demented logic are you spinning??? I think there are plenty examples of wacky and stupid things Democrats promote and say (see Bloomberg), but you Republicans seem to take the cake when it comes to absurd ideas.
You said that you wouldn't advocate for teachers of preschoolers or kindergardeners to carry concealed weapons.
I simply want to know why not.
Perhaps, some light will be shed on your position if you answer this question: do you support teachers of 1st - 12th graders to carry concealed weapons in the classroom?
If so, then why do you not support the same for kindergarden and preschool teachers?
I'm not a trained law enforcement agent, so I don't know, but neither are pre-school teachers.
Why don't surgeons have access to guns in hospitals, someone might come in and attack them, and what about priests and nuns? How are they supposed to protect themselves?
It is sensible for all people to have the means to defend themselves from any form of attack.
You still haven't explained why you think that kindergarden and preschool teachers carrying concealed weapons is not a good thing.
They would have stopped the beating heart of Adam Lanza before he stopped the beating hearts of 20 6 and 7 year olds, 6 adults at the school, his mother, and himself.
Wouldn't having one dead man named Adam Lanza be preferable to the actual outcome of this tragedy?
Seems to me like a great idea to reduce the number of public employees.
There is an old saying that you shouldn't bring a knife to a gun fight, well that you should bring a pistol or a rifle fight. So, unless the govs are going to also allow teachers to wear body armor and keep an M4 in the class room, I can see more teachers getting killed than assailants. And if not by the AR toting mass murderer, then by the police who aren't going to have the slightest idea of who is the guardian angel teacher and who is the crazed gunman, not that they couldn't be both.
The lack of common sense in these threads is incredible!
I have a friend that was a History teacher in an inner city high school for 15 years. He's retired now. For the entire 15 years he carried a Browning Hi-Power 9mm semi automatic pistol that holds 14 rounds. He carried it illegally. Nobody ever knew. Nobody ever got his weapon. There were never any problems. But had something happened this teacher may have been able to make a difference.
All the stupid reasons being thrown around re: teachers carrying are total BS. There are ways to safely carry and nobody needs to know.
So many people live in a deluded fairy tale world. Unbelievable!
Yep.
Those people are called liberals.
