I’ve heard right-wing dipshits saying to arm the teachers. How about the liberal teachers that may not want to use a firearm? What about the cost of arming AND training every teacher? Who is the lowest level employee with access to firearms at work? What happens when, not if, but when a larger student charges the teacher and takes their gun? Isn’t the main thing that’s stopping most potential school shooters the fact that they don’t have access to a gun easily? Well, that just puts a new gun into the mix that the kid wouldn’t be able to use.

They don't even pay the teachers enough to teach, let alone double as security.

Actually, giving firearm training to a group of underpaid and underappreciated members of the working class might not be too bad of an idea.
