Only if they take a 30-minute safety course first. We can’t forget our common sense gun reform.

Now that I’m thinking about it, we could replace one of the useless classes like art or music or civics with time at a shooting range.

Ah, but I carefully used “mass shootings” instead of “school shootings”. Since you’d also then have to arm mall employees, priests, abortion doctors and so on, that wouldn’t work as a single, unifying solution.  
Well, I suppose you could station armed teachers at other places where people gather but I don’t think most teachers would be up for the forced volunteer armed guard duty.

And now I’m imagining a gunfight between a doctor and a fetus who just doesn’t want to be aborted.

Just wondering here…

Since there are fucking knob-heads out there who are actually seriously talking about making all teachers carry guns in the classroom (since police officers are too scared to take on shooters)

Would this mean that teachers could be empowered to arrest dirty corrupt cops at gunpoint? And, could a teacher take out a cop who is kneeling on someone’s neck cutting off their airway?

Heck, give guns to all the teachers and then try to stop them teaching CRT and saying “gay” in their classrooms.

10ish years ago, at my daughter’s school, they were doing ALICE training and invited parents for quick meeting with the school resource officer to talk about what ALICE training is/isn’t. One of the parents suggested they should be arming the teachers. The parent dismissed the multitude of reasons the SRO (and other parents) gave for why having teachers carry guns would be a horrific idea. Eventually the cop basically said ‘arming teachers isn’t going to happen’ and moved on.
