This guy was a deputy. He was trained. And he didn't have what it took to go in there and face down a man with an AR-15. Originally Posted by Austin DudeSounds more like a personnel problem to me. That and more government failure in this case.
Like logical people have been saying, arming teachers isn't an idea that will work. Originally Posted by Austin DudeNoone is saying to 'arm' teachers- as in, all teachers must be armed. What they are saying is, well trained and armed teachers can be good. But clearly, only if they are well trained and ready to defend. There are many teachers that already meet the criteria and are already certified 'conceal carry'. At present, it would be a felony for them to bring their legal firearm to work.

Not everyone is well suited or trained to be concealed carry, Demonicrats come to mind, but there are certainly many that are and would would be willing to use deadly force - especially to save a lot of innocent lives. Originally Posted by Why_Yes_I_Do
Well-trained? What kind of training do they have? You know the amount of time that S.W.A.T. teams need to be able to handle these types of situations. Being a crack shot at the range isn’t going to mean anything when someone is firing at you and you’re faced with taking a life. No one can train for that. No one knows if they have that in them, case in point, this officer. He was trained and it didn’t mean anything. Originally Posted by Austin DudeYou might want to watch the Youtub video of 'Daniel Shaver' being killed by Mesa, AZ cops, who were later exonerated. Then report back on their training. Think it was posted on the dailymail.co.uk also. But yes, you can train a fair bit. Keep it to the basics, know yourself, your weapon and the environment. SWAT trains for a wide range of events. Mainly they are focused on overwhelming force, i.e. shock and awe. But self defense and being in a corner are rather motivational.
Then we get to all the things stupid people saying this don’t really think about…Not that I think you are actually offering a viable option, but what would it cost to retrofit every existing school to TSA standards? And who would pay for it? And staff it? What about parents that don't want their kids attending what amounts to a prison, sans the razor wire? What happens if a teacher is unarmed when there is an active shooter on-site? You can go in circles forever or discuss options and make sound choices. So what if you don't like one choice. There are others involved as well.
Who pays for the training? Is it out of pocket? Do you get reimbursed? How many hours do you have to take to be considered properly trained? Will they ask potential hires if they are already trained/have a permit to carry? Is that going to lead to biased hiring practices? What happens when someone shots an innocent person (either accidentally or mistake identity)? What about parents who don’t want their kids in a classroom with a gun? Do they not matter? What happens if we armed a teacher and they decide to shot up a school? What then? Originally Posted by Austin Dude
Then you consider not all states are concealed carry. Are the Republican Party, the party that’s suppose to be all about state’s rights, going to require all states to do something even if they don’t want to? Originally Posted by Austin DudeYou mean like States Rights? Isn't that covered in Article X of the Bill of Rights already? Go on, you can name them; Calfornication, NJ, IL, NY, DC - mainly liberal sh*tholes, not to mention places with high murder rates.
Now to your stupid attacks:Wowzers, you're really slipping off of your game today. A whole post without calling someone a racist or bigot. Didn't see that one coming. I'm sure there are some fine Democrats that are capable. Though they should probably register as a certified minority.
Democrats aren’t well suited to carry now? Saying idiotic things like this shows you lack any ability to see past a person’s party. What about all those Democrats who served in the military, who are police officers, etc. I guess those people aren’t good enough in your eyes because they are Democrats. Or do you subscribe to some moronic view that no solider, officer or federal agent is a Democrat? Originally Posted by Austin Dude

Well, now. Thanks for exposing yourself and welcome to the trash heap of socialism (the old Soviet Union, Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, etc., etc., etc...)

Hey Libtards !
If only Ft Hood had a good guy with a gun, a tragedy could have been averted.

The teachers' unions don't want them to be armed, and I understand that most teachers are meek people who don't want to be responsible for defending themselves or the kids they are RESPONSIBLE for. But that's just too bad. Life is hard and in life you have to stand up and defend yourself and other vulnerable people. To do otherwise is to be a coward. The police will not arrive in time, and even when they do they are reluctant to even enter the building because they too are cowards. The bad guys know that the teachers, principals and everyone else at schools are meek and cowardly. That's why they strike. After the shooting the media is all over the scene shooting pictures of girls crying and crying on the shoulders of their parents and teachers. Cry cry cry. So many tears but not an ounce of courage in anyone to stand up to these killers. Trump is right in that the schools have to be hardened. If the principals are weenies and don't want to have a rifle in their closet then get rid of them. And it doesn't take someone with a military background to defend themselves with a gun. The teachers can be trusted with guns so just let the ones who will have them keep them nearby. Originally Posted by pussycatTeachers graduate from college with a teaching degree. They go into the teaching field because they love the profession. They do not sign up to protect children in their classroom from idiots with a gun. To categorize them as "meek and cowardly" is about as stupid a statement as it gets.
