Notice From My Cold Dead Hands......

I find it funny that a large portion of the population is for arming teachers but that same group doesn't trust teachers to pick out appropriate books for teaching or libraries. Trust a teacher with a gun, but don't trust teachers with the curriculum

 

I trust teachers just fine. In fact, I've already said they are drastically underpaid.

 

Good points, except.......this country is already well on it's way to civil war AND authoritarianism. The choice is whether you want liberal authoritarianism or conservative authoritarianism. Currently we're trending towards the latter. And the right has all the guns. If that doesn't scare the shit outta the average American, then we have finally become too stupid to exist as a country any longer. I mean c'mon, our choice seems to be take away guns and have a civil war, or keep guns and have a civil war. That's a corner we have deliberately backed ourselves into.

 

Authoritarianism can't happen when the population has over 400 million guns. Many on the left have guns. Many on the left end up voting right partially because the left keeps coming after guns.

If we're going toward authoritarianism, or a civil war, I definitely want an armed population.

 

My wife and I know 2 current teachers that (guy & gal) that are armed in the same same school. Outside of Portland.

 

Awesome! Are they breaking rules to do it, or is there some way to do it legally?

 

My god

 

The district allows it from what I understand.

 

Arm everyone everywhere with AR15s. Only then will we have peace.

 

Incredible! That is awesome news.

 

Hand guns are a far better decision. Really, ARs are only popular because they look cool.

Yes, I'd be happy if every law abiding adult were armed and trained. Again, I would offer a generous tax credit to anybody who passed a good gun safety course.

There wouldn't be any school shootings (schools wouldn't be targeted because the shooter would always be outgunned), and I bet everybody would be much more courteous around town as well.

 

Yep. Every "solution" but the obvious one. Basically fifty more "thoughts and prayers".........

 

This school had a security officer. Parkland had an on campus officer. Remember, he hid. Saying schools would now suddenly not be targeted is patently false. Cops didn’t stop SHIT 2 days ago. How much more armed could we be Jesus

 

Every school should have this: if you approach the school between 7-5, you get popped

 

Kinda looks like a photo of McNary H.S.......................

 

The very real fact that cops are basically worthless is giving individuals MORE incentive to own firearms, not less. If police aren’t going to do shit to protect even children, people will obtain the means to protect themselves and their families on their own.

 

I didn't say anything about cops in my post. I want the people in the school to be able to defend themselves.

Police are worthless wastes of taxpayer money now. We can't even consider disarming the population without completely revamping the police and judicial system first.

You want to wait 90 minutes outside with a police tazer in your face while your kid is in a "gun free zone" getting brutalized?

These lunatic assholes attack innocent and helpless people because they need to feel powerful. If there are 5 trained staff members at every school they will no longer be targets.

 

Worth the risk.
