you lack empathy if somehow you are "caught in the moment" of listening to tell people horrific stories about what happened to them and need a note remind you to show that you care or hear them
Gotta talk about something while I wait for you guys to address my many questions and data on the previous couple pages
WHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT TO BITCH ABOUT A PUBLIC SPEAKER WITH NOTES TO REMIND HIMSELF OF KEY TALKING POINTS TO REITERATE TO THE AUDIENCE WHAAAAAA!!!!!!!
For one thing, it doesn't address the underlying problem.
School teachers are not the "gun wielding" type. And if one was that type, he would be the last person at school I'd want to have a gun. Teachers are criminally underpaid and overworked and do NOT have the time for that kind of training. A lot more goes into using a weapon than simply knowing how to aim and shoot. Teachers need and hope to connect with their students, not lord over them with a dominating threat of violence. I think it would only attract more hostility and violence.
Even suggesting such a thing displays a shocking level of ignorance.
Having more guns on the school grounds will only lead to accidents and theft and still does not begin to address the root cause, which I don't think is simply lax gun laws.For starters this is not all teachers. It's a collection of teachers /administrators /school staff that are comfortable and capable. Secondly your grossly over generalization about what type of people teachers are is what is ignorant here. Teachers are like everyone. A collection of unique individuals and I know that as I have many who are close to me.
Finally, response times from local law enfor cement make this a no brainer decision. Don't project your dispostion on guns to the rest of the population.
it's to kill the police and military they love but don't trust and will kill so they can get their country backIs assembling a collection of military-style weapons necessary to fend off a home invasion?

Once rights are taken away, they almost never are granted back. So it’s a slope worth treading carefully on...
All the more reason for me not to rely on others for my own protection
Well, then we need to start letting the students have them, too. They can't rely on the teachers for their own protection.
Good because Ralphie sure wasn't.
At my son's daycare, there is single access point. They give us a key fob to scan in. Most of the schools I know of in Georgia, visitors can only come in the front and have to be buzzed in by the front office. Think I heard a person from Georgia tell Trump this yesterday.
It's a start, anyway.
Well let's see. I don't think you ever addressed my point about the data that shows the U.S. has a much higher gun ownership rate and gun homicide rate than other comparable developed countries.
What's your thoughts on the data that shows states with higher ownership rates have much higher homicide rates?
How about findings that gun in homes are much more likely to be used in assaults, homicides, suicides or accidental shootings than for self-defense?
