Did problems with guns in school occur before or after they decided to create gun free zones? There are reasons why schools ended up having gun free zones. You have teenagers who lose control, get in an argument, pull out and gun and shoot someone. Have guns about and not only that, but you will end up gunning down people who had nothing to do with the incident. As for arming teachers, is it going to be a requirement that teachers in school also be competent shots with the gun, and carry them? And if so, are teachers going to be paid more money to pay for their own ammo, and guns? Or will there a gun locker in the principle's office where the teachers check them out and return them at the end of the day, and what money would be available for this? |
what is stopping them from doing that right now?
nothing.
if some teenager doesnt have self control enough to not shoot somebody when they get angry, first of all they shouldnt own a gun, 2nd of all nothing right now would keep him from already shooting people at school.
as for the teachers. if the are legally allowed to carry a weapon, then they should be able to lawfully have that weapon on them. and a gun wont do much good if its locked up in some locker on the other side of the building, now would it. teachers should either have the weapon on their person, or locked in a drawer in their desk.
