Another school Shooting Nevada

This makes much more sense than arming teachers.

Teachers and administrator have a tough enough job as is, and now burden them with the responsibility of a weapon and the security of their school?

Something's wrong with that picture, people need to step back and take in the whole issue.

Its great that some teacher volunteer say "hey i can do it," but those are not the teachers im worried about once the school makes a decision like this. Its the teacher there after who have no experience with a weapon, the teacher whose name is drawn out the hat to take on that responsibility, and the teacher who simply is not responsible enough to secure a weapon. These are the teachers where we hear about the next horror story.

So bottom line there were guns on the base.

Thanks.

There was also air craft and fighter jets. In the Fort Hood case the guy went after people in the service and went past any civilians. In DC it was the police and swat teams that came in to kill the shooter.

Yeah I mean who else should be armed using this logic? Pilots? Movie theater ushers? F it let's just have everyone strapped. Wild wild west bitches.

Hilarious! Reminds me of that time someone mentioned having an intelligent debut.

Serious question: How would you go about ridding the world of weapons?

Well in this context of school and when your dealing with children, you'd think people would look harder and think longer about this than the average gun nut who just says arm everybody. But really from the gun lobby, its not surprising.

Please provide evidence of anyone suggesting we arm everyone or retract your petulant post and admit that you, like the majority of anti-gun hippies, lack any rational position.

To a point pilots are armed but with detection equipment and procedures to keep guns off planes in the first place.

I'm obviously joking around. I'm sure you're intelligent enough to see that... I hope. By the way along with intelligent debate I should have added respectful. KTHANXBAI.

Non serious answer to your question, more weapons, duh.

The problem with having an officer in the schools is the cost and these things are so random. It would be like putting a cop in every neighborhood. I'm not saying arm all teachers I'm talking a few that may elect to carry. That's only if the local schools and PTA's decide it is best for the school. People have to remember most cops go their intire career never firing their guns and the same would be the case for these teachers. Its not like they are going Rambo though out the school all day long. They just have a gun for if and that's a big if its ever needed.

You are correct in that it would cost more to the taxpayers, and that would be something the local society or society at large would have to decide whether it is justified. I worked at jewelry store during grad school and we sold certified Rolex watches. In order to be authorized to sell Rolexes they require you to have an armed guard at the facility at all times. IMO it is a touch ironic. I would be curious as I know they have looked into teachers carrying in Texas, how they are handling the liability insurance issues. I imagine it is very different from police unions. I don't belong to a union, but I imagine the dues would be higher.

I would guess liability insurance for gun toting teachers would be pretty costly for schools.
