A state senator from Indiana County has introduced legislation to allow teachers and other school employees to carry firearms to ward off intruders. He said rural areas without police nearby are vulnerable to attacks from outsiders. However, others say only trained professionals should be able to carry firearms in schools, noting the more guns in school the more problems schools will have. What do you think? Do you think it will protect students, or make them unsafe?
“Check out Stephen Colbert Drop a Truth Bomb on the Absurd Militarization of Elementary Schools. It should be required viewing for everyone in favor of this.”
“Yea, Stephen Colbert is a good one to listen to. The man is a total idiot.”
“I’ve visited Indiana County. This is par for that course.”
“People from Fayette County shouldn’t be complaining about people from Indiana County. That’s like the kettle calling the pot black.”
“We treat teachers like second-class people. We make them sit with our rotten kids every day, pay them low wages and try to take more benefits away from them every year. Yeah, let’s arm them. That will go well.”
“If you want to protect students, more guns will be needed. There’s no way of getting around that.”
“I wonder how many teachers are already packing heat?”
“No way. That’s a big mistake. Only trained professionals should be armed. Otherwise you’re asking for a disaster.”
“We should just arm the students. They don’t listen to the teachers anyway.”
“Let’s start them young. What could ever go wrong? That way they’d be marksmen by the time they’re in the fourth grade. No one would mess with them.”
“Teachers always make the correct legal decisions. Look how many are caught sleeping with students.”
“One thing is for sure. Girls would stop turning teachers in if they had guns.”
