Don’t forget the liability insurance the school systems will no doubt need funding for now that every school is an armed compound.

While we are at it, let’s just replace teachers with drill sergeants. Fuck man, it’s a conservative wet dream.
 
Why should we stop at teachers? Shouldn't law abiding students be allowed to defend themselves too?
 
If we ever arm teachers, I hope a Vegas casino offers the following prop bet: Who will be shot first, an intruder hell bent on shooting up the school or a student who was shot by their teacher who snapped? LOTS of money to be made here.
 
I'm curious if the first armed teacher who shoots a student will be given the same level of deference as a police officer. "I felt threatened so I shot him". Did you see a gun? "He made a movement toward his waist". Ok Mrs. Jones, head on back to math class, we've cleaned up the blood.

Teachers certainly aren’t as culturally celebrated as LEOs on the right, but maybe the gun adds the respect that they lack. That’s basically what would happen though.

I'd put money on student, who disarms a teacher and shoots another student.

Asked a guy... Who is a good, good fearing man.. why he thought gun massacres don't happen in Europe or Japan or south Korea. Response...

In my opinion, just from the areas that you named, I have to believe it is the fact that those cultures still hold on to good moral traditions. I would have to believe that faith and love of country are things that are a vital part of the kids lives as that grow up. America has seem to have gotten away from that. There is no more prayer in the schools. We don't say the Pledge of Allegiance, in schools any more. I saw a picture the other day, don't know if it is real or not, but Congress was together and there were people sitting down during the Pledge of Allegiance. Discipline, in the schools, has been greatly minimized. Culture and today's society, here in America, tells us that we are wrong if we spank our kids, that "time out" is the way to go. Our country has gotten soft on these valuable fundamental truths and I don't think those other countries have, at least not to the point that we have, I don't know. It would be interesting to go back to the times when we were growing up, when those fundamental values were strictly taught, and look in public national records and see today's world compares to that time.

Amazing the pretzel logic. Gotta defend those guns. In any other context, those other countries would be cited as godless hotbeds of atheistic socialism. But in the gun context... They are paragons of moral and patriotic virtue.
 
So why don’t we identify people who don’t have good morals and make sure they can’t use guns. Like men with restraining orders against them.

Yeah, in most European nations something like 1 in 10 people actually go to church on any kind of regular basis. Most people may call themselves Christian, but for all intents and purposes Europe has become a secular society. Much of the reason why, ironically, is that in the First World War most of the warring nations all claimed that God was on their side and would help them to win, and by the time it ended even the victors were exhausted and had suffered massive casualties. Then came the Depression, the rise of Nazis and Fascism (which also promoted Super Christian White Nationalism), then the destruction of the Second World War, and after it was over most European survivors, not surprisingly, were far less religious than their parents and grandparents. The USA, I think, is finally heading in the same direction, which is why so many Evangelical Christians are so paranoid and pessimistic about their future. The real reason these nations don't have the same levels of gun violence we do, and certainly not the levels of school shootings, is that they all have far stricter gun regulations and limitations than we do. "God and prayer in schools" has nothing to do with it. Furthermore, the fact that these nations have all somehow remained democracies (indeed, they're often more democratic than we are now), in spite of not having a heavily armed populace to prevent "government tyranny", shows just how crazy much of the thinking is among large segments of our society right now.
