Lol simmer down, No one is echoing anyone. I'm in the field, and this is an option now that was brought to us.
We know you're against guns in general, I am not, which is why this option doesn't look as bad to me.
Again, FIRST PRIORITY is get the kids locked in to the classroom in a safe place. Teachers or administration (is who I originally said should be the ones strapped over teachers a few pages back) Aren't going to be in the hallway looking to shoot anyone down. We're going to be getting as many kids as possible safe. period.
SRO's are the most important thing, they're the first and fastest call to get police there. We have SRO's in every school even elementary in my county. I originally assumed that was the case for all schools in the US but it's not.
I like the federally paid and trained vet idea the most. That would be #1 for me.
im not against guns, and arming teachers is a terrible idea. teachers can already barely handle a classroom, much less, actually conflict in schools. If a fight breaks out they usually panic and have no idea how to stop it. A gun in the hands of ANYONE who is scared is not the ideal situation, agreed?
Even from a practical sense, in a prison the guards dont carry guns for this reason. What happens when a group of bad kids decide to take the teachers gun away? Then what? Oops?
You're talking in circles so Ima answer the vets one. Federally paid and trained means an intensive background check where an important mental health issue such as ptsd will be known and declined. There are plenty of well minded vets out there
cmooonnnnnnnnnnnnn fam. you know this makes no sense. an "intensive" background check will catch all cases of ptsd? so u think all veterans who are suffering from ptsd went in somewhere and had it added to their record? Thats like the ignorant saying of the anti-gun people where they think universal background checks alone would prevent mass shootings. Cant catch what isnt reported. Simple as that.
"There are plenty of well minded vets out there" ill respond with the words of chris rock. "But some jobs can’t have bad apples. Some jobs, everybody gotta be good. Like … pilots. Ya know, American Airlines can’t be like, “Most of our pilots like to land. We just got a few bad apples that like to crash into mountains. Please bear with us." One incident with a vet suffering from PTSD is all itll take. Lets not even go down that road.
