Another gun nut, lookin for her 15 minutes of fame. YOU may want kids and teachers packing heat in a school setting, most of us rational thinkers realize what a stupid idea this is. First of all, how would you separate out a kid who wants to bring his gun to wipe out as many of his fellow classmates as possible, from a "nice kid"?
First, who said kids?
Rational people do not make up things to add to a discussion, to appear to be right.

Most civilians would freeze and either not be able to react, or would spray bullets all over the place, ie, friendly fire that would kill or wound even more people.
Again, a rational thinker, knows and understands that we are not talking about kids in schools with guns...we are talking about TRAINED teachers and those teachers would want to carry, not mandatory.

On of the last shooting, the cops did not enter....
Again, where is you rational thinking?

There it is....the "wild, wild, wild, wild west......another useless anti-gunner meme....wild wild west shoot'm up and kill everyone....

Ya know, 99% of us somehow get through every day without carrying a gun around with us. Mine stay safely at home, and I have never faced a situation where I felt the need to have one on me, whether it is going to work, shopping, dining out, etc.
All guns in the hands of untrained people do are get the gun carrier killed, or other innocent people shot. Granny isn't a suitable candidate to be carrying an AK.

First off, police officers are trained and continue to train, on the proper use of guns. Every few months they have to continue that training. If a teacher or student did the same, they might be proficient, but they will never do that.
Secondly, civilians will make stupid decisions when the adrenaline is flowing. Here is a perfect example, a shop owner shoots a guy for STEALING $36 worth of beer. Now the shop owner will be going to prison too.
And that video....when the armed guys walk in, they know who has the gun.....they shoot the teacher and then go stragiht for the person who they KNOW has the gun....
Then, on top of that, even the guy who knew about guns, they put him in a position that he was not used to. If you are not used to shooting with gloves, then of course you're going to mess up.....and not have the same reaction time.....

I noticed you did not answer all the questions....
Again, we are not talking about the children....before you continue to say children, back it up with something that says we are talking about children also....not donnies adding to the discussion, to make himself feel better...
People are stupid, how does that one video negate the thousands of people who were saved with guns in the link I provided....
And good, that guy should go to jail....did you think I would say anything other?

Newsflash way more than 1% of the population (even in a commie state like NY where I live carry guns daily).
Here's an article. Even a blue county in NY more than 10% of population has a handgun permit. NY only issues conceal carry permits.

If I'm carrying concealed, how do you know I'm carrying concealed? There goes your 99% drivel.....
