    Because Facebook's algorithm wants you to do more than that, and it works to undermine your self control and encourages you to engage more than you actually want to with posts which seperate you from your joy joy feelings.

    That's how gun control started in the first place. With Reagan trying to prevent minorities from exercising their constitutional rights.

    And let's be honest, the 1000% tax proposal is just that. An attempt to prevent poor and minorities from having equal rights.

    Most teachers don't want to be armed.

    And they shouldn't be forced to be armed.

    OK, good point. That one I actually do think would be a guarantee. That's exactly what nearly all Republicans are asking for... Why would they oppose it?

    Yeah, I worked at a small private Montessori school. I was one of two males in the whole school. Guess which two staff members would have been likely tagged with getting that extra training? Nobody there wanted a gun in the classroom. We had a kid once accidentally stab gimself with an epi pen. Imagine if there were a gun in the cabinet? And you sure as hell couldn't reliably have it on your person with how grabby little 3 year olds are.

    Because that's what they do? Pay something lip service and then vote against it.

    Exactly.

    Yeah, I imagine teachers having them in locked desk drawers. That wouldn't turn out well.

    And yeah 3 -5 year olds are grabby. They like to look at my key chain and badge lanyard. I get what you are saying.

    Understood. But nobody has proposed any teacher being forced into anything.

    And my wife carries for self defense. Many women do.

    And a 3 year old can't fire or grab a responsibly concealed firearm... Any time you have heard about that happening with somebody under 10 those parents should probably be banned from owning Firearms.

    I'm not saying its a female thing. I say it knowing and talking to the women I worked with.

    And I don't know why you want to infringe on those parents 2nd amendment rights.

    A small amount of teachers might be willing or want to do that. Yes, some of them would be women.

    Yeah, but I would never want to even have a gun around them in the first place. I couldn't see doing that.

    That's where I thought you were coming from and that's where I was coming from.

    The whole school would be that much safer.

    If that teacher were given the choice we could have maybe had 11 children saved...

    Maybe more. Depending on how many victims there were afterward.

    We've already had 2 school shootings happen where there was an armed officer on campus. Having guns in place didn't save those kids.

    Even saving one child would be worth it but i have to agree that putting more guns in schools could go very very wrong quickly.

    You can't assume he wanted to carry a gun.

    But, sure if he did maybe. Sounds like the guy sneak attacked him coming from the other room rather than the hall. Not sure if he would have got shots off. Maybe.

    True

    Two recent ones. If you go back. Many school shootings had school officers that were armed and it didn't matter a lick.
