gun free zones!

[Big girl]

as far as cost effectiveness. having a teacher armed that the school is already paying is better than paying for more security personnel.

teachers = more guns oncampus. therefore a decrease in these mass shootings on campus

we should arm the kids as well.

[PAMFAM10]

haha

[5GallonBucket]

and your response is elementary.

 

my 9 year old is a very good shot and he also knows how to properly unload and load a a weapon as well as safely use the weapon.

 

its called teaching.

 

maybe you prefer for the children to not be protected......and if so.....shame on you.

[LumRaiderFan]

You got us...having qualified trained volunteer teachers carrying weapons to protect the kids is the same thing as wanting to arm the kids...smh.

[5GallonBucket]

also back in my day (in high school) we could have our rifles/shotguns in our vehicle because we would go hunting after school and sometimes before.....dove, duck, squirrel, deer, hog, etc....

 

and guess what......we never had any issues.

 

but sense times have changed and we have allowed our younger generations to sit and play violent gaming systems that have our young minds shooting up people and blowing up buildings its probably not a good thing to have our children armed at the school because a lot of parents have let these violent gaming systems and movies to be babysitters to the highest degree.

[Big girl]

Every teacher that I know says that they are not carrying a gun. I told one about this conversation, she said that you guys are welcome to volunteer as the "gun carrier" at her school. If you want the kids to be safer allow background checks.

Yes sir...the good old days!   :)

[5GallonBucket]

When you purchase a gun there is always a background check.....has been in all the guns I have purchased from retailers.

[stevenash]

People who conventionally purchase guns (rather than steal them or purchase in black market) are not the ones that are going to use the guns to kill or rob

[5GallonBucket]

nash they don't get that......why i don't know.

[tvc184]

President reagan required gun registration? Why is it such a big deal now?

Really?

I am soon to wrap up my 31st year as a police officer including most of Reagan's term in office. What is this registration you speak of that apparently existed at one time without my knowledge but does not exist today?

Maybe BG is getting a waiting period confused with registration.

Again, I have no problems with a background check. It is none of the government's business on what I own however.

And honestly, if a person decides to shoot up a school and kill children for which he will either recieve the death penalty, be killed by the police or will commit suicide, what gun law will stop his actions?

[tvc184]

While that mistake may be true and background checks were instituted (no waiting period) under the Brady Law, it did not happen under Reagan but under Clinton almost 6 years after Reagan left office.

Gotcha...couldn't remember the timeline of events.

Thank you for your Service

That's funny.  I personally know a whole family of teachers who would all gladly carry one.

[tvc184]

I think that most teachers would not carry simply because most teachers do not carry when away from school anyway. There are plenty of teachers that do carry concealed, in their cars or hunt and would gladly be able to carry at school. They might be in the minority but there are still many that would if given the choice.

Even a couple per campus could greatly reduce the amount of casualties in a mass shooting situation. I agree with you that a minority of teachers would want to. But even one could make a huge difference.

[5GallonBucket]

I agree with that....one is better than none.

 

Though it is a minority, but I would say that btw 4 and 8 people would carry one on each campus in BMT ISD......and I bet that number would go up for the surrounding school districts.  And I say that because I am very well connected to most schools in the BMT ISD as well as the surrounding schools.

 

I also believe that someone in the front office should carry one.

I'll never allow a teacher to teach any of mine with a loaded Weapon

I have a hunch you would change your mind if yours or someone close to you was a victim of one of these shootings.

[PAMFAM10]

but were does it stop if somebody makes a decision to mass kill they will. ..teachers packing or ...excuses the graphic but they'll just take out teacher first or Maybe wait till on school bus .. do we start arming school bus drivers lunch ladies etc also

What's YOUR solution?

[mat]

Neither you or the students would know who's armed.
