G is for gun: Texas in a class of its own

[psychocat]

Hooray for Texas!!! Your students will be safer because of it. The teachers are not forced to carry, and the volunteers will be trained.
One little correction Daihashi, you do not have to apply to get a gun, you have to pass a background check only. You have a RIGHT to own as many guns as you wish. Guns in the hands of the law abiding are NEVER a bad thing. Guns stop far more death than they cause in this country. (sorry, but this is one of my hot buttons)

Guns stopping people being killed with guns ??????? mmmmmmmm
No matter how many times I read that it still strikes me as something of an oxymoron.

Two people with guns who open fire on each other are inevitably going to kill each other and possibly a few innocents as well.
The more weapons there are the easier they are for anyone to acquire.
I am only guessing but I would be willing to bet that most of the weapons used in school shootings are owned by the culprit and also fully legal.

To defend students from any gun-toting maniacs, they can also carry loaded pistols into the classroom. The remote rural community has appalled gun-control advocates by becoming America's first to allow teachers to bear concealed firearms. Harrold's school board Rating: 5
