Title: Marjorie Stoneman Douglas HS
Post by: tweety0412 on February 26, 2018, 01:48:35 pm
What are your thoughts about the NRA, teachers having to carry guns and the entire thing from the shooting @ MSDHS on Valentine's Day?

It was such a tragic thing. 17 lives lost and 3 students are still in the hospital recovering.

Praying for all of these families as well as all of the staff and students

Who says the teachers are trustworthy to carry weapons. If someone wants to hurt/kill another then stopping that will be very difficult whether by guns or edged weapons,poison...

very sad,,,,   and uncalled for.  Now they want teachers to carry guns ???  They have enough in worry about trying to teach this kids.  hire some more extra guards fjor the schools and leave the teachers to teach.

I'm sure guards will risk their lives for minimum wage and free coffee to save strangers .

Hello! :D :)

Whenever there is a loss of life I always find that disheartening. However, the fact that teachers are needed to carry guns is even more disheartening. What is this world coming to that our children can no longer learn without fearing a school shooting? Nonetheless, I don't think teachers carrying a gun makes things any better. Guns are not the problem people are. :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart:  :rose: :heart: :rose:  :heart: :rose:

I think that the teachers have enough problems dealing with students and other work issues. they surely do not need one more add pressure of dealing with having a gun also to think about in there classroom.

I don't think having teachers carry guns is the answer, infact I think it will just cause more problems.  While all this was being reported, I saw on the news a video of teacher beating the crap out of a young kid.  I cannot imagine what would have happened had this teacher been armed.   We have enough problems with cops knowing when to use a gun or not.

Don't trample on my gun rights because of crazies...more armed guards in school...CCW teachers if they wish after extensive background check.

Banning guns only makes things worse...every city that has gun bans have the highest crime rates in America...criminals and crazies will always find a way to get a gun.

It's really sad. Makes me wonder when it's going to happen next time. Teachers carrying guns...I don't know...I don't have a solution to the situation unfortunately.

I haven't heard anyone saying we should make teachers carry guns, only that it should be allowed if they wanted to. If I were a teacher in today's school, I absolutely would want to carry a gun.

Such a sad thing that could have been prevented if people had done their job.

I think teachers have enough on their plate without having to carry firearms on top of that. Who's paying the guns? The school? Teachers barely get anything for classroom supplies.

Several of my family members work in the classroom and if it were allowed, I would be more than happy to supply them with a gun to carry. I would rather save a few lives than supply them with a box of pencils that may not have students around to use them.

Need more police in the schools and no cowards like the fired deputy.

They don't want just any teachers/school worker to carry guns, just those who already trained like military/national guard or those with conceal carry... Then it would be optional.  Also it would be left to the individual school district if they want to implement such a program, in individual states.   It is already being done in like 8 states.   I personally think whatever works.... they've been needing to tighten up the lax security at schools for a long time.... The florida governor had a bunch of plans to put through in the next 10 days that sounds like they would have more checks in place, with threat assessments in every school, child protection service and mental health professionals at schools, steel doors, bullet proof glass, and security with bag check upon admittance, 1 armed guard for every 1000 kids... some other stuff that I can't recall.  They've secured pretty much all venues already here in Southern California... they have bag checks at all the amusement parks before you get in, even at the movies. Secure the school then uping all the ages for guns & mental health checks.  Oh, and a state hotline & phone app for see something say something.... hopefully they will get a better response than what the FBI & police did.
 

Makes me so sad for all those people. That one father Andrew Pollack breaks my heart every time he talks about his daughter..... terrible.
