I just think its funny that when you follow the logic- these children are at a significant enough threat of being attacked by someone politically radicalized that they needed to shut down the school. They need to have extra security on hand when they re-open, and it makes a valid argument for their teachers to arm themselves because of the imminent risk. And that's all so deliciously ironic because the people they're afraid of, are themselves probably school gun control advocates due to the almost uniformly divided partisan political climate. Its not the old tired argument of guns to protect against school shooters, its guns to protect against politically motivated attackers, attackers who's politics say there shouldn't be guns in school. I'm sure if someone went through a list of twitter accounts that were calling for death/violence/threats against these children and cross referenced that list with accounts that proudly championed the march for our lives and david hogg and screamed 'think of the children' and attacked anyone who criticized the parkland activists- it would come out quite similar, wouldn't it?

Its that irony that I appreciate.

Teachers are the same as anybody else. If they have the training, a valid carry license and want to carry a gun.
What difference does it make?

A teacher that wants to protect kids from harm is bad in what way?

One would assume it would be on the local pulse where it was happening anyway

Conservative areas would end up with some and non conservative areas wouldn't

people deciding if they want to be a part of it or not in regards to where they send their kids

I'm only a couple years older than most of the people here and I went to highschool in a conservative area where people had guns in their trucks and that shit was post columbine

If people don't want them in their schools they won't be so it's not a real threat in any significant way policy wise if it were to start going down

Yeah, exactly. I know of one school that's in a really rural area where some of the superintendents carry and so does the principal.

It's not like every teacher is required to carry a gun or should, really it's a last ditch effort in the case of a horrific event by someone who wants to take up that responsibility.

It's not going to replace liaison officers, the police, or anything of that sort. But we've already seen some cases where if a teacher had been carrying, a tragedy could have been minimalized. Every minute that a school has to wait for law enforcement officers to arrive could mean several more students losing their lives.
