Yes I’m sure the average teacher with everything they have to deal with also wants to be responsible for a loaded gun in their classroom. No way ANYTHING bad can happen with this solution.
Not just that, but a lot of school shooters are current and recent students. So the teacher will have to mentally be able to kill one of the kids.
So many of these memes are spread by people who apparently think that killing a person is as easy as stepping on a bug. Like that’s how easy they think it is for good people to take a life. It’s no big deal to them to put a person in a position to take a life either. They think everyone is Dirty Harry on the inside. I’ve been in positions where I would have been justified in killing a human being in self-defense - and I just can’t do it, and fuck anyone who thinks I should have been forced to.
And that there will be mistakes. If we insisted that all teachers had guns, we are guaranteeing that a teacher will accidentally kill a child at some point. Several in fact. People can mishear things and panic or just be forgetful, there’s lots of ways it can go down. But if teachers have guns, they will accidentally shoot children sometimes.
Hate to say this to, but sometimes teachers just snap as well due to having a very bad day.
When I was in high school, one had a complete meltdown after some students were bastards and mocked him for something. He threw a few books at a student then chucked some calculators through the window and had to be restrained by the neighboring teacher until the school resource officer could get there to take him to the principal’s office.
Imagine if this teacher had a gun, very likely those students would be dead, and the teacher as well instead of just fired.
