[Rant] So You Want to Arm the Teachers
Dec. 21st, 2012 07:14 pmMy son is in preschool right now. Since Newtown, I've been staring at his school, at his building, at his classmates, and thinking of all those kids who are dead now. I don't think any parent can help that.
And, hey, I am willing to do whatever it takes to stop that from happening again. Suggestions I've heard from gun control proponents: Reduce gun access, reduce rate of fire, increase waiting periods, make smart guns (with biometric chips to prevent firing by someone other than owner) mandatory.
Suggestion I've heard again and again from gun fanatics: Arm teachers. When every teacher has a gun, every child will be safe.
( And that's what I want to talk about today. )
