Teachers Carrying Guns

Well, not only just in America, but of course Texas would lead the way.

 

 

 

This has been a debate in America for sometime; to let teachers/students carry concealed weapons on school campuses. The debate should be: "How do we ban guns completely?"

 

 

 

Universities and schools are to be places of learning, and guns have no place on a school campus whatsoever.

 

 

 

I dislike the idea of people thinking of themselves as the Universal Arbiters with a gun to "protect" themselves (which in my opinion is a crock of [cabbage]). They just want to protect their stuff and don't like other people "taking it", when items can be replaced, especially if they're insured.

 

 

 

I don't feel any safer with "law abiding" citizens carrying guns than I do a criminal.

 

 

 

So it's not so much the guns, it's the gun mentality and culture that this country cannot let go of.

 

 

 

That said, I cannot wait to leave this gun culture behind...

 

 

 

Note: this topic is not about gun control or gun bannings, but concealed weapons being allowed on school campuses.

Being a teacher can be really stressful. Matter of time before one snaps and shoots the whole classroom.

EDIT: Taken care of.

I've seen a teacher get assaulted in class by a disruptive student after he was gotten on to. That teacher wouldn't have had her hip broken if she was allowed to carry a gun, I think it's totally fine.

 

 

 

By the way, I'm from Texas :ugeek: .

I think it might be in the best interest of any potential discussion for you to remove the 'Only In America' from the title. It could go down a useless road.

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

 

 

That being said, if the teacher is trained by a police force/military and okay psychologically, go for it. If not, no.

 

 

 

Also, well done! You made a potshot at a state! You're so witty.

I'm surprised that he didn't accuse all Texans of wearing cowboy hats and riding horses to school, too!

Just what we need: More guns.

I should really stop doing that.

Doing what? I was agreeing with you.

I was making a funny. With the hats and horses. Because I have done that. Twice. It's fun.

 

 

 

AAAAAAAAAAAAANYWAYS.

Time to start looking at religious schools...

[jackattack]

Yeah those Texans are just a bunch of stupid redneck hillbillies aren't they? You are so much better than them magekillr.

 

 

 

The only thing I can think of is that they should have to wear police style trick holsters in case a student tries to take the gun.

[Cyco_Reborn]

Ha this reminds me of my old Maths teacher who keeps a hammer in his desk to smash stuff lol. Bear in mind this is the UK, if it were America hed probably have a sawn-off shotgun in his desk. :lol:

Better in what way? It's a known fact that states like Utah and Texas are gun clingy. Should I have made an allusion to the death penalty too? Or would that not have been fitting...?

 

 

 

There's so many unqualified teachers in America as it is to TEACH, and to give them the ability to carry GUNS?!?!! Asinine...

[Lenticular_J]

Also, did you notice how it's one, tiny school district? That isn't even a county? Not to mention Harrold being one of the most insignificant towns in this state.

 

 

 

I doubt that entire district even has over a hundred teachers.

 

 

 

EDIT: Fixed a typo. County, not country. #-o

Watch out bad students.... ;)

Ya Utah and Texas are gun clingy. They are also pretty religious states. Those people must be pretty stupid. Probably all the inbreeding that goes on there. They are just savages. They just love killing. I'm sure all of them fit your image of the 'gun culture'. I'd bet that if someone broke into there house and was carrying away their t.v. they would just walk up behind them and blow their brains out. Probably happens all the time. Damn trigger happy rednecks.

Time to start looking at religious schools...

 

 

 

It's a well-known fact that most Christian schools (especially Catholic) have ninja throwing stars in the shape of crosses. Either that or they just use rulers to break your knuckles or whatever. Those are weapons, too, y'know. They're cheap, but deadly.

 

Would you rather have a teacher fire a gun in class, which could possibly kill you instantly or just give a flesh wound? OR would you rather be sliced and diced by ninja throwing stars and have a definite bloody, slow death, or possibly just be burned at the stake?

I dislike the idea of people thinking of themselves as the Universal Arbiters with a gun to "protect" themselves (which in my opinion is a crock of [cabbage]). They just want to protect their stuff and don't like other people "taking it", when items can be replaced, especially if they're insured.

 

Except that this is a school, not a home, really not much "stuff" to defend there except, oh, I don't know...life. If a kid takes a gun into a school you bet your sunshine they're there to kill, not rob. This argument only serves to aid (if you can even call it that) a thread on gun control which you explicitly stated this was not about.

[mrpez]

i wouldnt trust a teacher to be alone with a student let alone have a gun.

 

 

 

a week or two after this law is enacted there will probably be a school shooting.

Because everyone knows the teachers are the ones with raging hormones, no life experience, and hatred for the students over petty reasons. After all, teachers are always the ones who start the shooting!

 

 

 

Oh, wait.

[mrpez]

ever heard of depression?

 

 

 

teachers dont make much and most of them arent married. especially if the students in the teachers class are disrespectful, its easy to be pushed to the edge.

That's partially laziness, partially sunburn. I took it from another topic on another forum why I disagree with guns being around in the first place. I didn't bother typing anything new because I wanted to jump in the shower and put lotion on my sunburn.

They might not make much money, but they do get 3 months off and once they're tenured, it's a very secure job. Believe me, I'm going to school to be a teacher. And that bs about most of them aren't married is far from the truth. With the exception of teachers that are fresh out of the universities, most teachers ARE married.

 

 

 

EDIT: I did a little research and in my former high school 54 of the 63 Faculty members were either married or engaged to be married as of last year. So unless my high school is a statistical anomaly, I find your point to be moot.
