A teacher with a handgun would be out gunned by a shooter with an AR15. The effective range of a handgun is probably 30 feet. But the effective range of an AR15 is probably 300 yards. A shooter with an AR15 facing a shooter with a handgun down a long school corridor would not be a fair fight. The handgun would probably miss the target, may hit an innocent bystander, and would soon run out of bullets and need to reload. The AR15 would have the accuracy at long range, have more shots, the ability to reload more quickly, and a much higher rate of fire.

I think that when you're in the shitter and guns start going off, you're in deep do do.

But what kind of gun?

It's totally off the beam of intelligence! Can you imagine a single teacher, adrenaline pumping, unlocking the gun cabinet and preparing to shoot someone who is obviously well-versed with automatic weapons? What do you think the police would assume....coming into a classroom and seeing a teacher (let ALONE a black teacher) holding a gun while children cower under their desks? This is a ridiculous attempt by trumplegroper to pass off the blame for NRA's purchase of Congress members!

Terrible idea.

Nothing good can come of it.

I think that if a teacher is available that has a carry permit volinteers to quietly carry at school with no official uproar about it and keeps his/her mouth shut that person might save a lot of lives including their own!!! I am fairly sure that there are at least a few people in schools that do carry for personal protection.

Fuck it just give every human over 4 a machine gun incase the teachers turn crazy.

All principals should carry, maybe some of the coaches too.
