Nope. I was picking up on something someone said earlier in the thread, or else I'd have had no need to mention the NRA.

And yet, the argument that Trump is making right now is to arm all teachers. No one is even considering that there could be a whole host of "bad" teachers who have no business being armed in a classroom. The argument doesn't even touch on that. It is simply, MORE GUNS!! MORE GUNS!!!

But as you point out, it's an asinine "solution."

Got it, you quoted me in response to someone else.

I can't see the screenshot you're speaking about? But I was in Dalton not long ago... Just a guess, but there is a huge Hispanic population in Dalton. 66% of the students at Dalton are Hispanic. So my guess, if it was a foreign language it was Hispanic.

Arming teachers is a terrible idea.

As a requirement , I agree. If they are a current CPL holder, I see no problem with giving them the choice.

Nobody.

I'd chill in the hallway and anyone who threatened to see what was going on would get told to slow their roll.

No class > class

There is no mention of his behavior. It says "students tried to get into Randal Davidson’s classroom and he would not let them in"

That's it. And then the principal shows up.

The story is lacking information. How do they know the alleged gunshot came from that room? It does not say he had a gun on his person. It does not say he fired a weapon. It says principal heard a gunshot. Maybe he heard a car backfire and thought it was a gunshot.

Go back and read the article. It has zero info as to what happened. It's pathetic reporting and no conclusions can be drawn from it.

Don't put words in my mouth, thats not my opinion, its yours.

My opinion is that in all walks of society and in all professions there are good and bad people. If your excuse is that there might be some bad people in an organization, then that applies to cops too and that makes it an asinine solution to let them protect us.

There are plenty of ways to screen teachers, train them, and make every effort to reduce the risk of mis-behavior. No solution is without some risk, its about how we mitigate the risk.

Please link to a story where Trump says all teachers in the USA must carry a gun in the classroom.
