Arming teachers?


As usual the gun lovers think more guns are the solution. Does arming teachers make sense to kill crazed shooters menacing school and staff?

What could go wrong? Do teachers have the skill set to shoot just the bad guy and not accidentally shoot a , staff or themselves under the stress of a shooting situation?

What if a gun falls out of a holster or pocket and accidentally fires a bullet that kills or injures a ? What if a picks up the gun and plays with it and shoots another ? Or the pretends to kill himself and accidentally does so?

Even the Biatholon shooters at the Olympics missed many targets due to wind and stress. They are the best shooters in the world and no one was shooting at them! Bullets ricochet and can go many yards and hit the wrong target, killing a or a bystander.

What happens if the police come and mistake the<b> teacher </font></b>for the crazed shooter and kill the<b> teacher </font></b>by mistake. The police sometimes shoot first and ask questions later in self defense. So a dead would be hero<b> teacher.

</font></b>What if the<b> teacher </font></b>is armed and gets angry with a mouthy and pulls out a gun to threaten the . The situation escalates and the<b> teacher </font></b>shoots and kills the . Teacher claims self defense and wins the trial. Changes the teaching environment for the whole school. have enough worries without being concerned the<b> teacher </font></b>will shoot them dead.

When there are more guns there are more bullets fired. And more dead and injured.

Teachers are supposed to teach not become police officers or swat teams.

Sad story that a teacher was teaching a class and accidentally fired his gun, injuring two students. Lucky that no one seriously hurt. Still shows what can happen by accident even with training. Fewer guns around, fewer people get shot.
