Teachers with Guns
October 6, 2006
MADISON, Wis. - In the wake of school shootings in Wisconsin, Colorado and Pennsylvania during the last two weeks, a state legislator says he plans to introduce legislation that would allow teachers, principals, administrators and other school personnel to carry concealed weapons.
This sentence is fresh of the Associated Press wire/MSNBC.com Web site.
All I have to say is how ridiculous. Rep. Frank Lasee, a Republican, is one of the people supporting the idea.
My question is, how did this guy got into office?
Why people be willing to give guns to teachers when they can't give them enough money to (1) attract better teachers and (2) increase overall school funding.
I can't see any teacher with a gun. The only one who could hypothetically handle a gun, in my mind, is a coach. And coaches already have too much testosterone flowing through their bodies. These guys already threaten their students with a paddle, give them a gun and see what happens.
Think about a 22-year old woman, fresh out of college, with a freakin’ gun on her hip. Or think about the 60-year woman, with a gun in her handbag.
Who's gonna’ win that one, a super-charged 18-year old football playing unstable, hormonal child, or the woman.
How much would we have to pay teachers then? Have schools gotten that bad that we need to arm our teachers? Say it ain't so.
