I’m sick of seeing these things happen and some people closing their eyes like they can’t see the only thing possible that could intervene. The cops will not save you. You aren’t going to thanos snap guns. MAKE SCHOOLS HARD TARGETS. My proposal is having open carry armed police on grounds at all time and REQUIRE note I said not ask but require a certain % of all teachers keep a handgun in their classrooms under a biometric fingerprint safe. These teachers will not be made public and no one would know which ones did or did not have guns

Horrible answer. I agree the mentality I’ll should be thrown in there; but are you suggesting we would somehow have a 100% success rate with that? No we wouldn’t. The simple fact is everything that is a hard target by it’s nature is less likely to be targeted and it’s understandable less people will die if they are

People need to be strapped now that there’s a tranny in congress. No telling what it might do to Nancy Mace and others.

Most teachers aren’t competent enough with a firearm to carry or use it in a classroom full of children.

Unless we’re paying for training and certification I’m not in favor of that and I’m one of the most pro gun rights people you will ever meet.

I'm a SRO. Some of the teachers are nuts and would be a danger to themselves and others with guns; however, my coaches are solid dudes and I'd prefer that they be armed.

AI can detect the presence of a gun and send warnings to lock down and call the police.


The problem is that those systems are very expensive for sxhool budgets and few are deployed.

I attended a demonstration and as soon as the guy pulled a fake gun out of a back pack AI did its thing.

Eliminate the department of education. Give that money to the states and let state voters decide what to do with their schools.
We should require more specialized training for teachers. Better train them to recognize and deal with troubled students, train them in physical combat, train them in gun training and responding to physical and gun violence.
More rigid screening and increase their pay dramatically so it will attract better people.

Teachers should be valued. They spend more time with our children than parents do during the school year.

My heart breaks over it too. But

They don't want safe schools.

They want an unarmed populace.

Some districts already do this. Ours has a cop assigned to each school as a full time "school resource officer". All the way from elementary to high schools. No matter which school, the SRO was always right by the morning drop off / afternoon pick up lines and if you had to go to the school office during the day, odds are you would see him in the area around the entrance and front office.

100% in favor of training and permitting for teachers who WANT to be allowed to carry on campus, but 100% against forcing any to do so against their will.

Local school boards to decide. For some reason, our school board in suburban school district voted to remove resource officers. Idiots.

Here's the only problem with what you're proposing.
I'm totally FOR hardening the schools.
But some of the people working IN schools have no business being around guns.
I don't want woke teachers pedophiles, and other employees around the kids. I certainly don't want them to have access to guns, while around kids.

There's also the fact that many classrooms get out of control. To the point of kids verbally, and physically assaulting the teachers.
While I wholly endorse any teacher defending themselves, the first time a teacher has to shoot a student in self defense, the gun community takes a MASSIVE assault right up the back door.
And if the parents don't string up the poor soul, the courts most certainly will.

If anything, these teachers have to be extremely heavily vetted. And pass the same testing as air marshals.
