    I love this dude. I've followed him since before he was hired on with the NRA. This guy knows what he's talking about.

    You and Denny both misinterpreted that post. I'm glad that the armed guard was there. The armed guard is what creates no need for teachers to have guns. He was my argument for not arming teachers. Now re-read the post.

    There you go with that identity bullshit again. You like to do this for some reason.

    Interesting-- he speaks out about covert racism and happening when he's around liberals, LOL. That continues to be my main gripe with these people which spills out against everyone now a days.
    I liked his segment about "group think" as well as descriptions of the Democratic leaders.

    It would have turned out better if there were 20 armed teachers.

    Speaking as someone who was an actual armed security officer, and as someone who has participated in Rapid Deployment Training with the VPD, I can tell you that I would personally prefer 20 armed teachers, rather than just one officer and a bunch of unarmed victims.

    Many schools today are very large. I know at my high school there was over 1,000 kids (1,200, IIRC). As an officer, I simply can't be everywhere at once. And in the time that I respond to a shooting, that killer might have killed 5, 8, 10 or more people.

    Whereas a teacher, who is licensed to carry and trained with their firearm of choice, can better respond immediately to a threat.

    That being said, it should always fall to the teacher to think of his/her's students first, and fighting the opponent second. Deadly Force should only be applied as the absolute last resort.

    But if you can get your children to safety, then do it. And that should be a part of a teacher's training.

    If I was training a bunch of teachers in a CCW Class, I'd have them practice a modified form of Rapid Deployment, using volunteers and simunitions, with the goal of getting their kids to safety, rather than hunting the perp down.

    ......umm...okay......

    Well....there is a minority of criminals in our population. But we shouldn't deny rights to the rest of the population because of the criminal actions of a few.

    Likewise, we shouldn't not arm teachers just because a small minority of them may or may not be pedophiles.

    A few are. It's really a crapshoot because they don't have "pedophile" tattooed on thier foreheads.

    My "thing" is that firing the ones who get caught is ridiculously hard.

    Would it be hard to fire a teacher who shoots a kid "in self defense"?

    A great predictor of if you are going to be a victim of gun violence is if there is a gun in the house or not.

    Numbers don't lie.
