Arming teachers is not the answer

... My friends recognised the gunshots, then I heard faculty and administrators say "get down" and "there's a shooter" ...

... I find it illogical that adding more guns would improve the situation.

"Teachers are here for the education of our students as well as preparing them for the future and shouldn't be placed in a position where they have to choose between finding a safe place to hide and protect their students or going after a gunman and protecting the school" ...

... guns pronounce fear rather than safety, and violence rather than peace ...

Weaponizing our citizens with assault rifles is entirely the fault of the GOP and their beloved special interest (da dada da!) the N.R.A.

While i'm at it, who the f*%k needs a bumpstop for self defense or hunting anyway?! The answer: pea brained thrill seekers with small penis's!
