Paul, I'm also opposed to arming teachers, but I like a little honesty.

"Do you have any quotes from those "dozens of families" who you claimed wish teachers had guns that day?"

Nope. But I have common sense bursting out of my ears.

Given you can't back up your statement (and were just shown to be wrong about liberals counting ability and a petty angry person at that), maybe if you were concerned about honesty you should stop lying yourself. If you want to talk about lack of honesty, either pull up statement from "dozens of families" or look in the mirror to see the person who is not honest.

"Given you can't back up your statement "

Sure I can, because I have a brain. Who would rather wait for the cops to show up, in that situation, than rely on an armed teacher?

You said families, plural, spoke out against it. The article only referred to one.

If you had a brain you wouldn't have questioned the article.

So either show us statements from the "dozens of families" or admit you're dishonest (either way you're petty for even commenting on the plural).

The article couldn't even get the title right. There weren't multiple families that spoke against arming teachers.

If you were told there was a shooter at your kids' elementary school, a shooter whose goal was to kill as many kids as possible before dying, and you choices were

(1) wait for the police to show up, or
(2) have armed teachers in the school,

in that situation, I can't believe any meaningful number of people would pick #1. Now, thank goodness these shootings are rare, and on 99.99% of school days, you can make a compelling case that kids are safer with no guns in school. But once there's a shooter hellbent on random mass murder? I don't think any meaningful number of parents would pick #1.

The author probably figured that anyone with a brain would have know that mutiple people would have thought that way and they didn't have to quote more than one.

There were multiple people as I provided quotes from 2.

Or he could have lied and used the word families intentionally, in order to attempt prove the liberal point he was trying to make.

Why lie when more than 1 family stated the same thing? Maybe only providing 1 quote was a way to get the Conserv. anger going?
