Aside from police officers, some Republican lawmakers also support the idea of arming teachers. The problem is many teachers do not want to be armed, and they are not interested in having a firearm in their classroom.
As is their choice.
A 2019 study conducted by California State Univerity at Northridge found that “the overwhelming majority [95.3 percent] do not believe teachers should be carrying a gun in the classroom.”
In a decent world, that isn't unreasonable.
But the minority who would arm themselves and be prepared to defend themselves and the kids, they should be able to.
Another concern for many was having to use the weapon, with under 6.5 percent saying they would be comfortable using the weapon in a case a shooter entered the school.
Well,the idea of pointing a gun at someone and trying to kill them isn't something normal people want to do. But when one of those people comes into your life intending to end your life, you can die or defend yourself and the kids. It's NOT something to consider lightly. I'm sure being forced to shoot someone would be painfully life changing. Or, you could watch someone murder kids and then point it at you. Not a real comfortable position.
When looking at those who were gun owners, only 11.5 percent said that they “believed being armed while teaching should be part of a teacher’s responsibilities.”
No, it really SHOULD NOT be something they need to do.
Kinda Looks like, sometimes, it gets there.
Lastly, the researcher reported that a majority, sixty-four percent believed that the presence of firearms on campus could pose a greater threat to school safety.
And what historical events would they bring into the conversation to point to that would make that a real consideration?
The ROTC people used to have weapons on campus. High school kids used to haul their hunting rifles to school and go hunting before they went home. Just because someone can imagine a horror doesn't mean a teacher should be stripped of the right to protect themselves.
Let's Take a Chaaance. Let's get rid of the signs and ALLOW teachers to get a CC license and carry, IF THEY WANT TO.
The signs have not been effective.
And I'm not aware of Any school where teachers are armed that has been attacked.
Even IF its not a Perfect Deterrent, even IF it doesn't mean no kids or teachers get shot,it's still a better answer than the clear failure of the signs.
How is it possible to continue to argue against what has not been allowed to even try?
Ohh,wait!!
It's BEING DONE in quite a few places,, and nobody has grabbed teachers gun and gone off the rails.
I hope I've done a decent job of explaining and I look forward to the responses.
