Teacher wanted

Teaching skills not so important, but must be able to use a gun.

Common sense says that if you increase the pay of teachers that agree to be trained and carry is increased an appropriate amount... there will be a lot of volunteers . Then if they are equipped with bullet proof vests , ear bud radios , flash lights ... they would be a formidable force ... and as we have seen from all of these bad guys ... they are afraid of authority and facing down deadly force .

@TexChik How about you stop anyone under 21 being able to buy or own a gun? Stop the general public from buying assault rifles along with semi and fully automatic weapons. Teachers should teach and not be bodyguards.

@Bigrobbie sorry pal, our freedom has been paid for with and is not taken lightly . Liberalism is the issue ... not guns . And libs will not take our guns .

@TexChik the NEA would have fun on this topic demanding six figure pay

@TexChik Children are being shot and guns are the issue here, but good luck with your freedom thing.

@MarineBob hahaha ... they’ll use retired teachers or private security if that happens

@Bigrobbie children were shit during Obama’s stint . There were 162 mass shootings and the left did squat . The second amendment is set in stone and it is also upheld by SCOTUS ... Freedom
Isn’t free , it has to be fought for and protected. Gun violence is the least thing killing kids these days

@TexChik That's alright then.

@Bigrobbie nobody said that , however the lib establishment wants to make a political statement about guns ... again🙄, but coming up with a resolution other than gun confiscation can’t be considered? Libs want the issue , not the resolution
@TexChik Children have been shit in every DEM and GOP administration in recent history. Neither conservatives nor liberals really give a shit about children, despite their political noises. This is so obviously not a gun issue. The left wants to take the guns away. The right wants to put guns everywhere. We could deal with it like we dealt with federal buildings and courthouses and actually secure schools. And guard them. A lot of things need to not make their way into schools. Guns. Knives. Meth. Fentanyl. Simply arming teachers doesn't solve but one bit of that.

@CopperCicada so sitting around and doing nothing is your answer . How do you know armed teachers wouldn’t make a difference? Concealed carry has greatly deminished crime where it’s legal . And libs protect themselves with armed security ... obama protected his daughters with armed security... but in our schools we can’t protect our children ? Because ???? It might just work and take the away the lib agenda ? Spare me the limp wristed babble .
@TexChik How is sitting around and doing nothing my answer, when I'm suggesting securing AND guarding schools, instead of just guarding them? I'm actually suggesting doing more.

Common sense says that teachers teach and whatever needs to happen to stop idiots getting hold of guns in the first place needs to be sorted. Teachers carrying guns is not going to solve this as a teacher one day will make a mistake and kids will get killed with a teachers gun. Arming teachers is just not the answer. Someone somewhere is making a lot of money out of children being killed and it's about time this stopped.

@CopperCicada Hey, another idea. Kids wearing body armour.
@Bigrobbie I don't understand the resistance to securing schools. There are a lot of people and things that one wants to keep out of a school and this solves them all.

Armed guards. OK. That's a secondary line of defense. It's critical once a shooter starts. It's not going to stop the first round from going off. The first round needs to not go off.

The reason people say "arm the teachers" is that teachers are the universal scapegoat these days. If you're going to be mom, nurse, doctor, counselor-- might as well be SWAT team too. And nobody will want their property tax going up to pay for securing schools.
