    Yes, we should arm teachers. Makes perfect sense.

    Having armed police is good but teachers who are willing to concealed carry would enhance the security situation quite a bit. Imagine you're considering shooting up a school but you know there's an armed guard. You can easily plan your attempt around where you know the guard will be.

    If you don't know which teachers are carrying you have no idea what might be a safe spot for you.

    this was pretty funny today at the CPAC

    NRA Chairman Wayne LaPierre: Right to bear arms is "not bestowed by man but granted by God to all Americans as our American birthright."

    Do you think Obamacare's only initiative was the health care mandate?

    Probably the most ridiculous comment I have ever heard on the gun debate. Would like him to show me where in any of the Bibles does it say that God grants man the right to own semi automatic rifles. And where is the line drawn? Rocket launchers? Fully automatic assault rifles? Grenades? God gives us the right to own all weapons! These people and their fucking gods.

    Obamacare doesn't have the funding it needs without the individual mandate. It was already dying, this is a finishing move.

    That didn't really answer the question.

    Do you consider the only thing that obamacare did was make a healthcare mandate? It would seem so when saying just eliminating that one fine eliminated obamacare

    You want to arm the teachers with handguns right? Or are we arming the teachers with AR-15s as well? I don't see how an inexperienced teacher with a handgun will stop a gun nut maniac armed with semi autos. Seems it would be easier to add police, ban semi autos, strengthen background checks on the weapons we do allow, and not have law enforcement epic fail on tips.

    But that would mean a slippery slope towards gun confiscation!

    Yes, I want teachers who are comfortable with concealed carry to carry handguns. I don't know if you know this already but most handguns are also semi-automatic.

    A semi-auto handgun in close quarters is a fine tool - especially when the alternative is nothing. The biggest advantage of the AR15 over the pistol is accuracy at a distance, which a classroom doesn't have. If it's in a long hallway or something that's a different story.

    Ideally, if you allow teachers to concealed carry I'd require them to pass yearly competency exams with the weapon. Also, yearly psych exams. Offer them some sort of stipend to encourage this.

    Seems to me that if you support arming teachers to begin with, why not arm them to be on par with most of the shooters? In other words, why is it okay for the public to have access to weapons that the teachers wouldn't?

    It's not really practical for teachers to lug around a rifle all day for starters.

    Looks like three more long years of fake phony news out of the White House. If he lasts that long.

    Trump blamed video games and movies as a main contributor to school shootings. Yawn. So how come Canada which plays the same video games and watches the same exact movies doesn't have any where near the same rate of school shootings? Couldn't be tougher gun laws could it? Naww..

    That's idiotic. A shooter is just going to make sure they shoot the teacher in the room first.

    Japan: 6 gunshot deaths US 33,000+ last year. Of course gun laws make a difference.
