the real issue is that any gun control suggestions are opposed by the NRA just today their mantra Only Thing That Stops A Bad Guy With A Gun Is A Good Guy by LaPierre and any gun control talks equals confiscation or removal of 2a
the School had security it was secure it had an armed officer.. not sure people have realistic expectations ..
Last week we hated liberal Teachers now we want to arm them ??
this theory of Mutual Assured Destruction being promoted is non sense

well...not the liberal ones....I suspect they'll probably pitch a fit (I know some that already have upon hearing this) and refuse to work in an environment where there may be guns present...could be a win...win

Leave it up to the individual teacher. You have to ask yourself what is the one thing that could make a difference and protect your kids in school tomorrow? Any sort of gun ban would take years, background checks will take a while, a licensed to carry teacher given proper permission takes place immediately.
Let the individual teachers decide.

No, we want to LET those who want to carry be allowed to carry, if they are properly trained. I'm pretty sure, as scottw stated, the liberal ones are not going to want to, so nobody is going to make them. and that's not to say that there aren't liberal teachers that would still be willing to.

"the real issue is that any gun control suggestions are opposed by the NRA"
That's ONE issue, not THE issue.
Other issues are the fact that Democrat politicians (who take money from Hollywood the way that Republicans take money from the NRA) are opposed to curbing the violence we bombard our kids with. Democrats tend to oppose policies that encourage "traditional" family values, which like it or not, will reduce gun violence (maybe not mass shootings, but garden variety street crime).
Nothing gets done because each side is too beholden to special interests.
Gun control is one of a handful of things that are driving this. School safety, mental health protocols, etc...

"Some one should tell that to the NRA "
Agreed. We agree on something!
"please stop the "traditional" family values, argument thats everyones responsibility as a parent"
Yes, it's everyone's responsibility. WAY too many people are derelict in that responsibility. It's irrefutable that it's a major contributor to violence.
