As a teacher, I keep saying this, but I feel like people aren't getting it. Armed teachers will not happen. NO ONE in education wants it. Not administrators. Not teachers. Not students. Not even teachers who are gun owners and NRA members want it. The ONLY group calling for arming teachers is the NRA. Even if Congress and the President repealed the law that created gun free school zones, I would be surprised if more than a handful of school boards and superintendents allowed it.
Funny how "NO" teachers want to carry, when LOTS of them here have volunteered for training.
Once again, I have to point out that this all rests on an inane narrative, namely that only a Navy SEAL can defend from a school shooter.
It's nonsensical on its face.
Schools aren't being attacked by SPETSNAZ teams. They're being attacked by wingnuts with NO training. It's not at all unusual for them to shoot THEMSELVES when confronted.
All it would take in MOST of the cases would be for ONE person to put the killer in immediate personal danger to stop the attack. TWO armed persons would allow one to suppress the shooter while the other maneuvered to shoot the threat in the back of the head.
This doesn't require MANDATORY arming of teachers. Nor does it requires teachers to pass the Q Course. It only requires teachers with concealed carry credentials who WANT to carry to be ALLOWED to.
Instead, we're told that the ONLY solution is to dial 911... and bleed out while the Broward County Sheriff's Department cowers in the parking lot. Oh, plus steal the property from MILLIONS of NON-criminal citizens, and create a police state to do it.
The fundamental basis of this is a HATRED for the concept of armed self-defense. The current discussion is about schools, but underlying it is the anti-gun cult's assertion that NOBODY (except Deputy Scot Peterson) can defend themselves with a gun. The fact that this is CONCLUSIVELY disproved THOUSANDS of times a year never seems to matter.
