[War on Want]

Shut your mouth.  This is the right thing to do.  Now all we need is to let the students have guns and we'll be set.

lolz another classic quote. Sigged.

But if you are being serious(yeah right), wtf is wrong with you. Surely you realise this would be a massive disaster in real school districts that are not lilly white and filled with McMansion suburbanites(even then wtf)

our gun culture is sickening.  sickening.

but im sure obama supports this decision.  he is a different kind of democrat.  he isnt going to automatically cede the ignorant vote to the gop.

Plz shut up. K thanx.

Good decision, but carrying in a school shouldn't be taken lightly, and should be regulated.  Now the teachers in TX just don't have to hide their guns!

Why not just improve the police force or make gun control stricter on people with psycological disorders rather than letting teachers carry firearms?

Do both of those, but making gun control stricter on people with psychological disorders in school is harder because 1) you have to deal with the fact that a parent may own the gun, and the kid has the disorder and  2) the kid may not have been diagnosed with the disorder yet.  And improving the police force isn't going to have instantaneous results in the middle of a school shooting, unless you have a lot of cops in each school (which is a fiscal nightmare).

I figured you would say that but in the end can we really afford to have guns everywhere. What if one of the students in a criminally active school steals the gun from the teacher? There are lots of danger situations but I can already predict your response...

How's this for a deal.  When a kid gets shot by a teacher in this school all the progun people will admit they were wrong and never bring up teachers with guns again.  On the other hand, if a teacher with a gun stops a bad situation from happening all the antigun people will admit they were wrong and will fight for more teachers with guns at school.

I have a feeling one side would be willing to agree to that and one side wont because we all know which event is more likely to occur (neither event will occur though, the odds are greatly against it).

I will not agree. One situation does not make anything right or wrong and I am sure you will agree with me. Also I think our extremely gun centric culture will come back to bite us in the a$$ 50 years from now mark my words. We have 90 guns to every 100 people, think about that for a second.
