I'd feel better if my kids were in a school where a responsible adult was packin'! As the old saying goes, "If guns are outlawed, only the outlaws will have guns."Javahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377033663576614925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597399695555911907.post-86905658290146829882007-10-10T14:10:00.000-05:002007-10-10T14:10:00.000-05:00I am a great friend of firearms and never been to ...I am a great friend of firearms and never been to the US.I believe, without having any statistic at hand, that more crimes ( and suicides, which are oviously the cause of depression, stress)are committed by adults then under-aged.so I think this teacher should not have a gun.Maybe the police should pass by more often, I don't know how it looks like now.But one teacher can not defend the school and all teachers are a too big risk.<BR/>danadana_hunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07547036936232882572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597399695555911907.post-6505786603811562872007-10-09T18:53:00.000-05:002007-10-09T18:53:00.000-05:00I think this is a great idea, because it demonstra...I think this is a great idea, because it demonstrates to the rest of the world why they shouldn't have guns. My friends in Italy, Germany and France are all anti-gun, because they see the destruction gun ownership has wreaked across the US. It's not an accident that Germans label the infrequent shooters in their country as having "American Disease".Tim in the Southhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477751212111695867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597399695555911907.post-26415767004658579622007-10-09T14:47:00.000-05:002007-10-09T14:47:00.000-05:00You fail to recognize the possibility of a vigilan...You fail to recognize the possibility of a vigilante teacher, in a stressful situations/environment, with an easy to obtain deadly weapon. What shall happen when the first teacher-student shooting is because an apparently "threatening" student pulls out a wallet and the teacher shoots him?<BR/><BR/>There are better, less dangerous alternatives than "fighting fire with fire."
