Schools already have lockdown procedures and drills for these kinds of situations. Firepower + fortification = advantage.


Lockdown procedures are to get people to hide and avoid coming into contact with the shooter.

Yeah, if only teachers could like... learn how to do things. But that's weird though, who does that? Aren't there jobs where people actually impart knowledge unto others so that others might learn what they know? Can't think of it...


Teachers put a lot of hours into teacher as it is. You also want to them to regularly train to deal with an active shooter as well now. Yet there's 0 talk of paying teachers more.

Imagine if a teacher is having a bad day and a student acts up, what are the chances the teacher loses control and shoots the kid?

Same thing police and military do: keep composure.

Teachers aren't trained in the same way.

You're right, they're probably trained more than police at keeping their composure


In a completely different setting. Teachers are not trained to deal with an active shooting on the building.

I don't think that has a high chance of happening.

What arming the teachers will do is add more responsibilities onto teachers who are already massively underpaid for the work they do. And even if a teacher is around with a gun, they are not trained to deal with that situation and will likely do more harm than good.


It's not hard to keep it in a lockbox or something in case of an emergency. At least the response would be a lot quicker than the police.


Quicker response sure. But it would be far lower quality and probably cause more harm until the police do arrive.

Teachers are not trained to shot a gun at a person firing their own gun. They are trained to teach children.

We shouldn't as we end up making things worse then better. This does not suddenly make it okay for Russia to meddle in our elections.

Topic50 Missouri lawmakers voted for child marriage.

The bill they voted on.

The bill in question, sponsored by Representative Jean Evans (R-Manchester), would take parents out of the equation: minors between the ages of fifteen and seventeen would need a judge's approval to marry. Seventeen-year-olds would need a parent's consent. And, in a first for the state, Evans' bill would outright ban the practice of issuing marriage licenses to children fourteen or younger.


The bill did pass 95-50. But damn 50 voted to keep child marriage.

It's just because they want to blame anything else for gun shootings instead of guns.
