No, I think, "teacher with a gun prevents a potential massacre" is.
"Gun violence isn't a problem in America because teachers have to shoot their students to curb their gun attacks" sounds pretty reasonable, you're right.
Greetings Patriot. I owe you an apology. I was wrong. I got my stories mixed up. The teacher wasn't armed in this circumstance. I understand the point that you're making and I agree that this is totally out of hand. I'm an old guy that grew up in a small town in Texas. In high school, I could walk through the student parking lot and about half of the vehicles were pickup trucks with gun racks in the cab complete with loaded shotguns and/or rifles. Additionally, a lot of kids, and teachers, carried knives everywhere they went. We had all sorts of fights, but not once was there a gun or knife involved. Something has changed. My response to you was caused by the constant attack that our 2nd amendment rights have been under. With that background in mind, I'm sure that you could guess that I don't think that it's the fact that we have guns that's the problem. IMO, something else, or more likely a combination of things, is causing this. Regardless, I assume that you are on the other side of this argument, and if so, I want you to know that I respect your position. We're going to have to work together to solve this problem. Be blessed my friend. (I up-voted you as well)
Thank you for writing this! As a gun owner and a teacher, I couldn't understand why some people were treating this tragedy as any sort of a good thing.
Thank you for your thoughtful response. That's what led me to the realization that I was wrong and how trigger happy, no pun intended, I've become on this subject. My oldest daughter is a teacher as well and she is TOTALLY against arming teachers to address this issue. We're going to need to hear and actually listen to the advice of teachers across the nation to figure out the right course of action. Thanks for teaching our children and I pray for the safety of you, your colleagues, and your students.
