the armed teacher

[beet1e]

I agree with Curval, and my opinion is equally worthless. But I'm glad I went to school where and when I did. It was a much more civilised era, no violence, no guns.

The world HAS changed, and not all for the better. If the consensus in America is that schools would be safer if teachers were armed, then go for it. I personally have doubts, and as curval says, your liberal pinkos' mileage may vary. One thing I do know - it's a sad, sad situation when it comes to having to arm teachers.

As I look back over the years, I realise I had an excellent junior school education. Those were the days of being taught arithmetic, grammar, spelling tests, history... teachers did what they did best. They taught. I have an old school photo of the teachers at that school in the mid 1960s. I'll post it here.

One question: Can you imagine any of these ladies and gentlemen strapping on a snub nosed revolver to take class?

The US has always been a violent society. Even before we threw the Brits out, the colonies were more violent than Jolly Olde. It's still that way and I do believe it is cultural.

I guess it's one we're used to; I certainly don't live my life in fear as some "outside observers" continually suggest we do here.

I live my life and go where I choose when I choose to, without any fear whatsoever...in part because of my right to be armed when I choose.

I pity those who don't enjoy the same level of liberty.

curval... I know how much you like to play the race card but the fact remains that more than half our homicides are committed by a race that comprises only 17% of the population and only about 2% of legal gun owners.

Beetle... I can easily see training any of those people in that group to carry and shoot safely.

Everyone here is finaly getting it.   We are simply asking that teachers not have their rights taken away.   The fact is that there would probly only be about one in 20 teachers who would bother and they would be ostracised by the intolerant liberal main.

But... even one in twenty would be better than an armed guard once in a while... better because it would be more and better because it would be concealled... the cowardly little darlings wouldn't know who or how many were armed.

Arming pilots and sky marshals seems to be working just fine... Who knows how many trajedies have allready been prevented by that enlightened policy.

in the end... aremed cops are just.... people.
