I feel we really needed another one of these threads.
This.
Also, I'm a supporter of the second amendment. Laws only affect those who obey them. If you ban guns, only those who are law-abiding citizens will get rid of their guns. The crazy psychopaths who are planning on shooting up a school.. well, you can bet that they'll easily find access to a gun. In reference to the CT shooting, had those teachers been carrying firearms in their desks, the shooter could have been taken down sooner.
Plus, I'm sure if someone was planning on doing a shooting somewhere, knowing that the people around him were armed, he would probably think twice about doing it.
i disagree with you slightly on this.
i dont think teacher should have guns IN SCHOOL for these reasons:
1) they could go over board with it and use it unnecessarily
2) a student could get a hold of it.
though i do believe they should have a right to leave it in their car.
I don't think your first point is true... I mean, yes, there could be a crazy teacher who shoots a student for no reason. But you can kill someone with a pencil too. But it this teacher is crazy enough to shoot a student, he or she is probably crazy enough to bring a gun to school regardless of the laws.
With the second point, I did think about that. It could be locked up with either a lock that only the teacher has a key to, or a digital lock that only the teacher would know the combo to.
if a teacher had a gun he or she is a BILLION times more tempted to use it than any other object to hurt a student.
and a digital lock? dont think some how and some way a student won't find it out.
