You give guns to teachers, teachers will shoot kids. There are many fucked-up teachers and many, many more stressed-out teachers who certainly don't need a gun within reach. Plus there's the possibility of students stealing the gun. How would it look if the next rampage is with a gun a kid took from a teacher? And that doesn't factor in secretaries, janitors, bus drivers and...good lord... ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS (some of the worst child molesters alive).
Liberal orgs like PETA are equally skewed to the nutty, but the NRA is pretty ridiculous.
Good points all, Phillip F.
The GA Legislature just tried to liberalize (better word choiceis available I'm sure) the gun laws to allow concealed carry in bars and restaurants. The extremely Republican GA Restaurant Association balked at this...I mean it's great that maybe Jules could pull his piece and prevent Pumpkin and Honeybunny from robbing the coffee shop, but I think we all know a more likely scenario is: "How was the service, sir?" BAM!!
And i'm no big time lib when it comes to guns or hunting...but I mean why do handguns exist? TO KILL PEOPLE. Not animals, not targets, PEOPLE.
