Arm the Teachers
Well
why not? You see, everywhere else this has been tried it has worked. My only complaint about this proposal is that the legislature wants to "ensure the teachers are properly trained" -- and that will just turn into another bloated government program.
You see, if you're a lunatic, but you want to attack people, where is the safest place in America to do so? Yes, in the schools! There are dozens and dozens of laws on the local, state, and federal books that ensure that every single person you will find anywhere near a school will be unarmed! There's nowhere else you can find that is so perfectly safe for a criminal!
Israel had a problem with terrorists in schools a few decades ago. But when is the last time you heard of a school being attacked there? A very long time ago. Why? Because all parents and teachers are permitted to be armed. Therefore, the terrorists now know that one of the most dangerous places to be, if you're a terrorist, in Israel is the school. Wouldn't that be nice to have in America? I wouldn't mind going someplace that was considered SAFE instead of a place that is 100% guaranteed to be safe FOR CRIMINALS.
Hey, here's a radical new concept that hasn't been tried in a long time: freedom! Let's allow people to have some freedom to do what they want to? And then hold anyone responsible for their actions. Yes, it's a radical, strange idea, but it has worked every time it's been tried throughout history.

The easy targets are the unarmed targets. The criminals know it and our government does as well.

Exactly right. If criminals thought that even 1 out of 10 teachers were armed, they WOULD think again before they tried this crap.

They put marshalls on the airplanes, and now, they balk at arming the teachers? I don't think it's a great idea to require teachers to carry arms, but I like YOUR idea of implementing civil liberties in the schools - the RTKBA being one of them obviously. That way these perverts who like to shoot innocent people can ask themselves "feeling lucky, punk?" before they enter a school with weapons and ill intent.
What I'm wondering is, when are we going to outlaw automobiles? We've had way too many crazies mowing crowds of people down in the name of "Allah" lately. The only way I can see this being stopped is to require everybody scrap their automobiles in favor of bicycles.

True GTL. I have to tell you, I break those federal laws all the time when I drive through school zones, because I'm simply always armed. And if I have to use those guns to save some school kids and break the federal laws, the laws will simply be ignored.
And then, of course, I'll just run away and claim I don't know anything about any shooting...
