So You Want to "Arm" Teachers?

IB & LL,

I thought you both were for getting rid of gun free zones. Am I wrong? Originally Posted by grean

I've been in a lot of "gun free zones" in which there were guns!

IB wants to let them in, but he wants to deal with them in a crowd with novices doing the "dealing"!

I want THE EXPERTS/HIGHLY QUALIFIED to have "guns" to stop "guns" from coming into the crowd of novices/want-a-bes. You know?

Like the airport!
Like Government buildings!
Like football and basketball games!
Like concerts!
Like the White House!
Like Congress!
Like jails!
Like prisons!

Probably like his own home!

That person gets checked at security check point and has to enter THE DOOR!

The Florida school didn't have one. You just made my point again! Originally Posted by LexusLover

..... just like they can't get into my house!

And what is an "average" high school? ... Full of "average" teachers and staff? We are moving forward away from "average" .. that was Florida all the way back to Columbine. Your lameass "solution" creates more problems that it solves ... otherwise it would be the "standard" at:

the airport!
Government buildings!
football and basketball games!
concerts!
the White House!
Congress!
jails!
prisons!

You keep making excuses. And that's all they are!

You're fretting about a football field when we SECURE airport tarmacs and runways with a HUGE PERIMETER?

(That thing looks like what I used to use when "cutting" calves!) I guess they make a camo model!

So what? You're going through all this bullshit so you can wear your "gun" to your teaching job? Or what?

You again are PROVING MY POINT. The Florida school was NOT SECURE!

Hey walls mat actually work for schools. Combined with cameras and perimeter breach alerts.

The Houston PD with TSA and several other Federal agencies do a pretty damn good job!

But you apparently haven't gotten IB's "point" ...

.. he needs to justify him wearing is "gun" to his teaching job!

He's IT!

He's the FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE for ALL THE STAFF & KIDDIES!

(In his dreams!)

Prior to Heller see
West Virginia State Bd. of Educ. v. Barnette,
319 U.S. 624 (1943)Annotate this Case
^^^^^^^^
That was about the 1st amendment

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_V...on_v._Barnette

The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials, and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts.

You are not making a cognitive point. Explain why you are bothered that we agree?
The notion that you think our right to bear arms is in any way tied to formal militia with any governing control is simply false
I did not say it was. i merely gave a suggestion that would resolve some of the issues.
Militias actually were initially under the control of the local government prior to 1774. When the Monarch attempted to disarm American militias under local government control, private militias formed. The minute men are one famous example. They fought the first battles of the Revolution.

Think of the first clause as meaning that should a group of people so choose to form a militia....


It is ridiculous, considering the founders recent experience with the stamp crisis that caused the Monarch to attempt disarming the citizens and for that matter, tip the public sentiment to go to war, that the founders would ever tie that right to a government controlled militia.

Do you believe in God? It's a natural right as a human being.

The "right" has been around since before the 2nd Amendment.



Do you get weary of being wrong so much? Or do you even realize it? Originally Posted by LexusLover

I didn't know you asked me a question that was worth answering.

Normally I would apologize, but you're not "normal"!

I normally do not agree with LL but on this one I do. You on the other hand are simply twisting his words to say whatever you want. He did not say set it up at one entrance and allow others to be unguarded there are schools all over that have been built or modified to do exactly what he is proposing. But you would rather just go with the "guns-O-plenty" method first.
