Supposing the Pukes get their way with arming teachers...

What kind of personal trauma is any "armed" teacher who fails to stop a shooter going to suffer?

Think of the potential guilt that will be carried by any teacher who fails for some reason to stop the threat.

Pukes usually don't like to put money toward education, so I'm pretty any therapy or counselling will be up to the individual.

Usually the only way they will take things in schools seriously is to make it about CRT, LGBTQ, or being Woke.

5. I wonder how they're going to pay for their little plan?

Because arming teachers would require that weird thing they hate called "raising taxes". Or do they make them pay for their own weapons and ammo?

8. And the shooter won't even have to avoid a metal detector, locked door, or any other safeguard

Pukes never seem to consider that school shooters are very crafty in how they get their guns.

Putting a gun right in the classroom makes it rather convenient.

10. I am not talking about a real gunman.

I am just talking about kids who are curious about guns. They will somehow get through the lockbox and get the gun out to play with. Then we will have a lot of accidental shootings because we place guns in schools for whatever reason.

A bad idea all around.

But somehow, this will become the "solution" because republicans refuse to have any kind of sensible gun control.

13. They think they need their guns to someday fight back against a tyrannical government

The problem is most of the gun nuts believe that wearing masks during a pandemic is government tyranny.
They literally took their guns to state Capitol buildings over masks.

14. What does the teacher do with his/her gun? Carry an AR15

on a sling or have a .45 semi auto in a holster or keep it in their desk. It has to be readily available at all times can't lock it up in safe. They should also wear body armor at all times. Maybe lock the kids up in a bullet proof room and communicate on line?
