This brings about the question: Wtf?!?!?!??? <br> <br> http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080815/ts_nm/texas_guns_dc;_ylt=AvAP6qAA6Uo8qSuD85d95W6s0NUE
seems like a redneck town to me. exspecially with the crazy teachers that have been on the news i would not trust faculty with guns. first post btw. sup every1
So its the teachers choice whether they bring the gun or not. Hopefully its a screening process. So when the jackass that brings a gun comes in they fire the yokel. Jesus.
I just don't see how this helps solve any sort of disciplinary problems. If in fact they are dead serious about actually going through with this (as it stands now, they are) a whole new category of problems will arise. <br> Kid stealing the teachers gun....anyone??
What..........the...hell...imagine if a stupid kid goes "ahahha lemme pretend to shoot myself like so and so did,and the gun was loaded"Who would be the ones to blame?
Wait nevermind, at second glance they are doing it in case an intruder or assailant comes into the school. That's the stupidest thing i've ever heard. Im lost for words at this point...
Pointing out the obvious problems with this is easy. But is there ANY benefit to it? Has it been proven that civilians carry guns actually help prevent violent crimes? That is, a guy pulls out a gun/knife trying to kill someone. A bystander(who is not a policeman and just a regular gun owner) happens be nearby, kills/injures the would've-been murderer. Becomes hero. Everyone happy.
another fabulous idea brought to you by the minds of Harrold Independent School District. insert CaseyH post here about how this is really a great idea and how teachers should also be able to carry rocket launchers on the playground, just in case Red Dawn happens. WOLVERINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That part made me laugh. I don't see how ANYBODY could see this as a good idea. Why not just place some police officers in the school permanently? That is what my cities PD did and now every school in town has 2 officers there.
School shootings usually end with the kid turning a gun on himself, anyway. These aren't rational minds hard at work. Frankly, I don't trust the teachers enough to keep them permanently stored away enough so that kids can't get to them. I think that's more likely than a teacher ever using a gun to protect students.
You liberals always bring a smile to my face with the ignorance displayed. Let me grab a quote from that article if I may: Do you people realize how vulnerable a school is? The school mentioned in the article is a long long ways from a Sheriff's Department; not that they could do anything anyways if someone took over the school. And a school take over by terrorists is coming one day. You realize that that exact same person can (and often does) carry right next to your kid at various places, correct? Could be his t-ball coach carrying at practice, walking down the aisle at the grocery store, sitting next to you at church.....but once it's his teacher, nope correction--once it's his teacher and they're on school property, now it's a danger you don't want introduced?
Yeah, I think that the Columbine guys would really have been deterred if there was a chance that people in the school had guns. Or maybe not.
How do you know they wouldn't have been able to be stopped and a life possibly saved? They were going to turn on their self regardless. It may have foiled their plan if they knew teachers were carrying guns; even with them going in their suicidal. They may have thought their plans would have been ruined. Don't you people realize that the bad guys don't obey by the laws and "Gun Free" zones aren't really free of guns?
