Were you not proposing arming teachers? Do you think loaded firearms in high schools in the possession of those distracted by their...job of teaching is safe?

OMG! What a solution! That should work out just fine according to the NRA. This will add a new dimension to the "Stand your own ground" law in Florida.

It would be great if for once, just once, the vehement anti gun crowd could bring forth a legitimate argument that isn't built around emotional instability, irrational fear, and hyperbole. Just once...

What I find most disturbing... For a crowd that claims science is being slaughtered by religion or an administration's motives... they defy the scientific method of testing theories.
You've had a failed good feels bill become law and be law since 1994. As a result of that bill and reporting on the tactics and weapons used, an increase in these heinous acts has continued unchallenged by an armed deterrence present within the schools.
It's almost as if it was passed to further an agenda to have Graves to stand atop and statistics to support an agenda.

In science... you test theories...
I'm willing to test mine against yours. You allow faculty to be armed to serve as a deterrence, allow volunteers to stand guard outside, could be parents, could be members of the local community. We can compare the results with a homicidal scumbag descending on their gun free school vs a voluntarily armed presence and see which one works at stopping the scumbag armed.

El. Elohim. El Elyon. El Shaddai.
In God we Trust does that as it is a non specific God, where as clarification is up to the individual.

You're exposing your game too quickly. Ease off a bit.

Teachers. Janitors. Librarian. Hall monitor. Principal... Faculty. You know, employees that comprise the schools staff.

Strange. My employees and I are armed. We perform work. More so than drawing on a white board and communicating and teaching. Like lifting bending squatting walking using machinery etc etc.
I don't see why it would be unsafe to have armed faculty.

But yeah totally leave a loaded weapon on a desk would absolutely play out...

Would you leave a loaded gun on your kitchen table in a house with children while you cook dinner to test your theory that this is a safe solution to preventing a home invasion?

Then it should read, "In gods, we trust." Polytheists believe in many gods.

Why would you advocate for irresponsible practices? Is that to further your agenda when an accident/act of negligence takes place to add to your statistics?

I find that profoundly stupid.
