No offense, two weeks of training per year doesn't make you qualified to take down an active shooter with an assault weapon. As a father of three, I'd rather all these fucking weapons get off the street. And I say this as an owner of 7 different weapons that I've had for years, none of them assault style rifles. A 30 30 Marlin deer slayer is as close as I get. That's plenty for hunting and home defense, not street sweeping.mcgruff10 said:

But four days of CNN coaching can make teens, who can't even own firearms, experts on them.mrussel1 said:

1. Ban the assault
2. Universal background
3. 3 day waiting period
4. Close the gun show loophole.
Get that done, I'll even join the NRA.0 -

Question,
people who who are opposed to teachers arming themselves. Why does it bother you? If your child has a teacher that you trust, what difference would it make it they had a concealed weapon? I bet you and your children walk by people all the time with concealed guns and you’d never know it.0 -

Anyway, the psych test is nothing but red herring from the NRA. It's bullshit. All it will do is prevent people from getting any mental illnesses from being treated. It will have the opposite of the desired effect.0 -

I'm a teacher, and I don't want one, nor should I have one. Want to arm me? Start paying me six figures, give me a bullet-proof vest, and put bullet-proof glass in my classroom windows.
Guys, I’m a college professor.
I’ve also been shooting guns my entire life and own multiple guns now.
I don’t trust myself to be able to capably defend a classroom against a shooter, and I’m a good shot.
Why would we expect teachers everywhere to bear this responsibility?And your solution is to arm teachers??? Are you fucking insane?? I'm a teacher, I teach children. I've been in the army, I've made the choice to no longer be a soldier, but a teacher!
Hi, I'm a teacher. I don't want a gun. I could use some more dry erase markers. Thanks for your time.
I'm a teacher with 14 years of experience. I have zero interest in being armed. #StudentsStandUp
I’m a teacher. Don’t give me a gun. Give me the supplies I need, the salary I deserve, and the common-sense gun laws to protect my kids.
I'm a teacher. I own guns. I'm adept at shooting them. This is the dumbest idea in the damn world. No teacher should have this responsibility and frankly I can't think of one I'd wholly trust with it.
I'm a teacher who qualified in the military on the rifle, handgun, light machine gun, heavy machine gun, grenade launcher, automatic grenade launcher, bayonet and hand grenades.
And there is zero chance you'll convince me a school will be safer if teachers start carrying guns.I have said this a hundred times on here already. Why does no one ever ask teachers what they think? I'm a teacher. Teachers do not want to carry guns, we have enough to do.
I’m a teacher and I don’t want a fucking gun in my classroom! I’m trained in literature not shooting people! This is ridiculous.
I’m a teacher. The last time I held a gun was when I played Duck Hunt, and I sucked at that. My job is to connect with kids and teach them a language. No shooting required.

I'm a teacher and a gun owner with a concealed & carry permit, and I'd never want to bring a gun to my classroom. My kids need to feel safe & I should be thinking about content and not worrying about someone grabbing my pistol. Arming teachers is a gun manufacturer's solution.
I’m a teacher. I don’t want to carry a gun. I want the people responsible for my safety, and my students’ safety, to do their jobs and make our workspace safe.
#NotStickingToSportsTwitter. Hi, I’m a teacher. I don’t want to have a gun/have a gun in school.
Thanks in advance,
Mr. NathanThis "Listening Session" reveals itself to be what it truly is: NRA propaganda for guns, guns, and more guns.
I'm a teacher and if they put guns in my school I'm out. Every other teacher I know is out. Parents will pull kids out. It's FUCKING INSANE. #GunControlNow #NeverAgainSo you add even more responsibility to teachers who you already refuse to pay? I’m a teacher DAMN YOU
I’m not a police officer, I’m a teacher I’m at school to teach your children, not to shoot, not to kill. Giving away more guns will not solve anything. #ParklandStudentsSpeak
