So which part of the country doesn't have a workplace?

We, who do not want to be around guns, also have our rights. Teachers who only want to teach, should not have to work in buildings where people are carrying guns. MORE guns are not the answer. People who don't want guns also have rights.


What is this "We" crap? There is no "We" over here.
You disarm you and think for yourself!

How do you know any of that? Oh wait. You don't. You're just making it up.

Well duh!
Who are the adults who die in school shootings? Teachers!

If I was one, you bet your life I would all for doing all I could to keep my school from being shot up! With some rational regulation, the good guys with guns would never have to worry about getting their guns taken away and the bad guys would never get a gun to go shoot up a school in the first place.

Way too many kids have died already. Something has to be done about it now.

Do you know how difficult it would be for a teacher to react in an active shooter situation? Even cops have to be trained countless hours in order not to make mistakes. And then they still do sometimes. Arming teachers is not the answer. Banning assault weapons would be a good start.

LOL . . . and yet you are here whining about others exercising their rights.

These teachers and students have every right to walkout and march and express their concerns. We gun owners also have the same right to march and express our concerns.

All reasonable and law abiding gun owners understand this very simple principle. The time for working together, change and compromise is here. It will happen with or without you because there is definitely a gun problem, which needs to be resolved.

Heck, the AFT is one of the sponsors of the Women's March: https://www.womensmarch.com/sponsors
Sounds like the future of America is in good hands with these teachers. I wonder if they need any help?

In the end the video of the grieving father was viewed over 40 million times which means his statement is more powerful than some propaganda teacher union!

Very sad to see ***** hats trying to use some snow flake students for their agenda!

You can't comprise with the globalist gun grabbers. You either surrender or they try and destroy you.

It's common knowledge that public schools are intolerant of conservative viewpoints.
