Cure for School Shootings

Arm the teachers. Don’t force them to be armed, but ALLOW teachers who have carry permits and the proper training to bring their guns to school, quietly. Trust them to be responsible gun users as the school system trusts them to be responsible with your children. Don’t buy the anti-gun fool notion that, if they have a gun, to figure shooting somebody is the FIRST response to any disturbance. Disarming everybody in a school just leaves them defenseless against the gunman who comes in, regardless of “the rules,” to kill a few students. Experience proves that schools that allow their teachers to be armed have had NO SHOOTINGS, so far. In Israel, teachers have been armed for a long time, and that has resulted in only 2 school shootings, both of which resulted in a dead gunman, and NO dead children. Signs warning that some teachers are armed serve as an excellent method to discourage a potential gunman from coming in, since they cannot know WHICH teachers will be armed. Not like with UNIFORMED “resource officers” who can be located and “dealt with” before anybody realizes there is a shooter there. (CPRC)
