Giving a teacher a gun is ASKING them to be afraid. It makes poor judgment a homicidal offense. And that danger will be borne by black and brown students. The students who make teachers “afraid” just by their very existence.

This is racism of the highest order.

What if the teacher is black? Will they just shoot white perps?

As a hunter {shot my first dinner in 1949}, Army Vet, NRA member, grandfather, I know that arming willing {and willing to be properly trained} teachers, will be an enormous deterrent to any would be school shooter.

If not a deterrent, then a quicker end to the shooter.

The author is a deranged racist.

letting teachers pack to combat school violence is akin to upping food stamps to wean the poor off welfare. neither are root causes and both only ramp up the problem.
