Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Pencils don't write papers. People write papers. A sane, properly trained teacher with a gun is a very safe and good idea to have in schools for self defense.

 @9GGCD4N from Georgia commented…6mos6MO

problem with this is by the time the teacher can pull out the gun to to stop the mad-man with agun, some people have probably been hurt, some killed, even. I wouldn't necessarily oppose this measure but there are probably better measures like posting police at schools and doing thorough background checks on people who buy guns.

 @9F9M2XD from Texas disagreed…8mos8MO

I will feel safer know my teacher has a 9mm in the room with me. As long as the teacher went through train background checks and has a safe with a code or a holster to store it. I feel like this will lower the threat of school shooting. I will be honest, the people who say that guns kill aren’t thinking straight. The gun is merely a tool, it’s the one using it that’s the killer. The UK banned guns and then they switch to knifes. So if we are to go by the logic the left side is pushing we should surrender our guns, after it was guns that won this nation form the British. And I say if the government tried to take power like what’s it’s doing now then we have a right to defend ourselves from them. Just as the founding fathers did and that’s why they wrote it in there.

 @9GGCD4N from Georgia commented…6mos6MO

Banning guns is stupid as **** . I say this as a liberal, and the measures you propose (that being extensive background checks, training, etc...) is something I agree with, though the police would probably do a better job.

 @9F9L8VV from Utah disagreed…8mos8MO

Having gun's in the classroom with proper training, education, and carrying is one of the only ways to save the kids from the mentally insane.

 @9LZNMDX  from New York commented…1 day1D

Just the fact that you use the term "mentally insane" shows you don't know what you're talking about. What's the alternative -- rectally insane? The term "mentally insane" is both redundant and inane. Facts: the vast majority of shooters don't have a documented mental illness, and the vast majority of people with mental illness are not shooters.

 @9F9KNJY from Texas disagreed…8mos8MO

But even if guns are banned there is still people who break laws. How are we gonna defend ourselfes from someone with a gun. Are we just suppose to run or stop being sissys and fight the right way?

 @9F9KL3M from North Carolina disagreed…8mos8MO

if a student has a gun, and the teacher is unarmed, then the teacher dies, and the shooting continues. this will prevent shootings if we allow guns in the school.

 @9F9KBGM from Kansas disagreed…8mos8MO

the government should do something about it. Kids don’t have the blame for it. It’s the people who lends the gun especially when it’s a law that you can purchase a gun.

 @9F9K3QK from Tennessee disagreed…8mos8MO

A course should be offered and required to pass for all teachers who wish to carry guns. Safe gun control is not a hard thing to understand or abide by.

 @9F9J35B from South Carolina disagreed…8mos8MO

i believe teachers should have firearms locked into a safe under there desk that requires only a code they know i also believe the edjucation system should pay for them too get trained too use those firearms

 @9F9FNZ9 from California disagreed…8mos8MO

The user harms others with guns. The gun is merely a tool, that can be learned to keep society safe and protected as opposed to vulnerable and scared.

 @9F8QQWD from Texas disagreed…8mos8MO

Guns are a tool used to protect our politicians every day, we already protect everything else important with guns, what makes this any different?

 @9F9QJDN from Ohio disagreed…8mos8MO

incase of a shooter or threat teachers can protect and defend themselves or students. even if one day a teacher go's crazy and tries shooting up the school the other teachers can help.

 @9F9Q2V6Green from California disagreed…8mos8MO

If an armed intruder welcomes themselves on campus the teachers would be able to scare the intruder, maybe, and protect the kids.

 @9F9PRM2 from Florida disagreed…8mos8MO

In my opinion I would feel safer if I knew my teacher had a gun to protect me and my children in the future.

 @9F9NP9JPeace and Freedom from Florida disagreed…8mos8MO

teachers should and can go through classes and training in order to keep their gun, and have it in a hidden spot nobody knows about.

 @9F9MPFDRepublican from Georgia disagreed…8mos8MO

If a teacher has had proper training from law enforcement, received their carry permit, and paced all finger printing tests they should be allowed. The teacher has the right to bear arms like any other US citizens if they have taken the proper steps.

 @9F9LPP8 from Virginia disagreed…8mos8MO

If the teacher has a gun in the class room and knows how to use it and can function properly in a classroom the think about the amount of lives that could be saved when a school shooting does occur.

 @9F9KFPKPeace and Freedom from Illinois disagreed…8mos8MO

The Government are the ones that keeps making guns and more easier to be bought illegally. If this the case we going to deal with might as well have a gun with you for your own protections. Also it supports right to bear arms amendment.

 @9F9KC23 from Pennsylvania disagreed…8mos8MO

There were 188 school shootings at private and public schools in 2021-2022 i think that the teachers should have to take a course every month and if they don't pass then no they can not carry a gun but if they pass then yes they can carry. i think the teachers should have to sign there gun in and out when coming and leaving school.

 @9F9HFQQ from Texas disagreed…8mos8MO

No, Gun have the potential to cause harm.The same can be said about a knife, but in life there are those who are responsible and those who aren't we just have yet been able to come up with a system or test to find out if some is responsible enough to handle a gun.

 @9F9BWDTDemocrat from North Carolina disagreed…8mos8MO

If there were an accident with a child getting a hold on the weapon, there could be even more death by guns.

 @9F9BJ27Democratfrom Guam disagreed…8mos8MO

harm sometimes is necessary evil
Having more guns in Teachers hands increases the chances of attackers being naturalized

  @TexanGOP from Texas commented…8mos8MO

Sorry, but I disagree because i'm a Texan if you cannot tell by the Logo, and the Name I want is what's best for the Country and we have to have guns in this Country for protection. Sorry to say this you have been brainwashed by the Democrats, picture this you have a family and a terrorist breaks into your house you need to have some sort of protection even if its a gun that's why not everybody can have a gun legally they have to have a permit in the State Of Texas. @TexanGOP approves this message.
