BF2S Forums Should schoolteachers carry guns?

I say give the kids the guns. No fucker would hijack a school with 300 hyperactive, heavly armed Bf2 (or any FPS playing) testosterone fuelled teenagers there...

You should have made the poll have both options being, "No, are you a fucking idiot?"

Not just no.  Hell no.

"Hey! I wanted your godamn attention Billy and now youve got mine!" BOOM
"YOUR PRINTER WAS BROKEN?!?! THATS THE BEST EXCUSE YOUVE GOT?!?!?!" BOOM

I say give the STUDENTS guns...jk.
I think school would turn into a bloody firefight if the school was attacked by another Doom-playing emo kid with his dad's shotgun. Some teacher might even do stupid heroic Matrix crap for brownie points.

No, but schools should have higher security.  Call me crazy, but to stop the people like the Columbine fuckers, you require people to walk through and put all metal items in a bin, put their backpacks through those xrays along with the bins, and walk through a metal dectector just like airports.  Sure, it will take more time, but it will stop the mourning families who lost their family member to some fucking pyschopatch kids.

Yeah.  Shootings in the queue for the metal detector are soooo much better than the canteen.

Perhaps PARENTS should do a better job of securing their weapons!!!!

no b/c my science teach would have shot me allready 4 starting a fire in calls it was an axident bet he was pissed

OMG!!!  37 occurances involving children.  You can't tell me most of them could have been prevented had the parents done something about keeping these guns locked up.  It's not like a 15-year old can go down to the local gun shop and pick up a Colt .357.

But I come from a country where that's not the case and I can't remember the last time some kid shot their classmates in this country, so what would I know.

It is interesting that you bring up rights that apply to adults and not children.  Removing the 2nd amendment will not stop violence from happening.  Even in countries where guns are banned, there is still violence.

I did not agree that arming teachers is a good idea, so I voted no.  I lean more towards what IRONCHEF commented on.  It all starts in the home and how you raise a child will determine a to a large extent how they act in society.  Also learning is a two part street.  The student has to want to learn and the teacher has to want to teach the material to the student.  If you put armed guards wandering the halls it will reduce the effectiveness of the teaching process.

I have four boys and I actively hunt and fish.  My boys love to go fishing and just last year I started teaching my oldest boy, who is eight, ho to shoot his air rifle.  Yes, he has an air rifle and he knows it is kept with dad's guns locked up and out of reach. 

I live in a rural area, population around 50K in my city.  There has never been much violent crime until this year.  Three officers were shot while trying to issue a warrant.  That doesn't sound out of the ordinary, but this criminal lived right down the hill from me.  It makes one realize that people who are capable of violent acts are all around us.  Now I am considering apply for my concealed carry permit. Some people disagree, but if I am out with my family and the situation presents itself where I have to defend my family I want to be ready.  That is what the 2nd amendment guarantees me and a US citizen.

I think that parents should be held more actively involved with their children's lives instead of relying on the public works systems to raise them.  That in is the problem.  Lack of accountability for parents.

I think the best solution would be that during school, for elementary and high schools, there should only be one door that is unlocked from the outside.  If anyone needs to come in they need a key or has to enter through the front door where it would be easy to see if they have weapons etc...  Even if it is a minor nuisance, I would prefer that to being shot.
Opinions?

Unlocked from the inside, you mean? Still not going to stop a kid from entering a playground through or over a fence.

No, I mean the school - as in the brick walls with the metal doors - should be locked at all times so that nobody without a key (or maybe only unlock after and before school) can get inside the actual building.  I think this would be the most effective way to stop people from coming in with guns and other weapons without having metal detectors and the like.
Another thing that works, even though I don't like it, is uniforms.  When there is someone from outside the school inside our school they stand out immidately in the crowd. 
Like I said, these are not foolproof methods but they should provide more safety and security inside schools

Personally, I don't necessarily disagree.  I don't think that guns should be allowed anywhere but, having said that, if some people have guns I reason that the best idea is for everyone to have guns.

But violence in general will happen.

What we are talking about is GUN RELATED VIOLENCE, look up the stats, a country with gun control is more likely to have lesser numbers than a country without it. Coincedence I think not.
