Yes, that’s a better idea. Or something that can immobilize like mace. Why not even BB guns?

You haven’t thought too far into this, have you? What exactly do you think will happen when a student uses the teachers gun agains him/her? It would happen at some point. There are careless people everywhere. What then? You are thnking about this issue the way Libs think about most issues...this is not a perfect world, most teachers are great teachers but not all. It seems that even teachers are capable of “snapping”. To arm all of the teachers regardless of their emotional states is irresponsible and your answer does not take these issues under account. If there are teachers who are disturbed enough to molest our children, what makes you think that one of them would never feel threatened enough to use “the classroom gun” when threatened by a student? Have you ever been to an inner city school? The teachers are berated daily by their students and cannot take any action to curb the students behavior. If you don’t think one of them, just one, is never going to snap you are fooling yourself. The answer is not as easy as you think.

Why are you quoting me and berating me? Wasn’t I agreeing with you? I’m confused.

Government schools are pure evil and a joke (just like almost all government). That people take these schools seriously amazes me. Government schools are to be fought against as something evil which they are as they are socialism not as something to be discussed seriously . HOMESCCHOOL, private school etc. , no government schools.

While what you say is true, you aren't really suggesting that such people don't kill their students because it is illegal to do so, do you?

Most teachers don't face metal detectors, do they? There is nothing stopping any given teacher from doing exactly the same thing that Adam Lanza did. That it doesn't happen is simply an indication of just how abnormal the shooters are and how essential it is to arm the teachers.

The goal of being armed for self-defense isn't to eliminate all attacks; that is simply unrealistic. The goal is to deter many attacks and to greatly increase the likelihood of surviving such a deadly attack.
