How long until a pissed, stressed teacher threatens or even shoots a kid?
More likely is that one of them will leave it in the bathroom after having removed it to take a shit. Happens a decent amount of times with school resource officers.
Or a good teacher who knows they’re neither trained nor paid enough to warrant the responsibility will keep it locked up very tightly and in the panic forget the code / lose the key, and then they’ll be the scapegoat after everything ends.
That sort of thing has already been happening for years with the so-called “safety” officers station in schools
Almost like police aren’t trustworthy with firearms.
ACAB
Sigh.
Guns are bad. Cops are bad.
And you can’t fight.
Who or what protects you from violence at that point?
Since when do cops protect anyone besides the already powerful?
Right. There’s no one in prison for violence against commoners.
we are going to give more under-trained humans human killing devices where juvenile humans exist en masse? awesome. im sure that will go super swell.
the mere existence of a human killing device in your proximity increases your chances of being affected by a human killing device. why are we putting children in more danger?
Also glossed over every time this stupid fucking “more guns” idea is proposed: Are we going to make carrying a gun mandatory for teachers? What’s the actual number of teachers who want to be armed while teaching?
The only reason this shit gets support is because it’s profitable to the gun lobby. One day the kids that the pro-gun community threw under the bus will run the country and they’re going to have no compassion whatsoever for the people who armed their classmates, teachers and random psychopaths who wanted their suicide to be on the news.
Will they give guns to all the teachers, good and bad alike? Then I guess we will find out if the good teachers with guns can stop the bad teachers with guns.
The law is not issuing guns to teachers, it’s allowing teachers to concealed carry in a school if they pass some tests and get approval from a few relevant people. The data says it’s ineffective at having the intended effect (stopping school shootings) but apparently already 2/3 of states have a similar policy. Anyway, if you want to learn how to stop school shootings I suggest you read Angry White Men by Michael Kimmel.

So in other words, the gun laws teachers are subject to may actually be effective for stopping dangerous and negligent people from owning a firearm but we can’t apply similar policies to the public because it would inconvenience reactionaries and weapon manufacturers.
This law has nothing to do with owning a firearm. It is only about who can concealed carry and where. The law in this area is highly variable, changing even from city to city.
I didn’t claim it had anything to do with owning a firearm. You either misunderstood my comment or are deliberately trying to pretend I don’t understand the law.

Right there.
The law doesn’t say anything about whether teachers can own guns or not, just how they will be permitted to concealed carry them in school.
“The teachers are getting additional vetting (to carry within a school) that could be effective and appropriate for all gun owners, but they get a pass”
