Wait he put his signature on the bit of paper to make it easy for mentally ill people to be able to get a gun and now he is going to make it hard for them, and how quick will it be before a teacher shoots a school kid when they arm them?

Fuck me America is filled with idiots could the world not just build a wall around it and we just delete it from memory like they did on the Simpsons?

In fairness, this country is full of idiots too.

....If a potential “sicko shooter” knows that a school has a large
number of very weapons talented teachers (and others) who will be
instantly shooting, the sicko will NEVER attack that school. Cowards
won’t go there...problem solved. Must be offensive, defense alone
won’t work!

very weapons talented teachers

That's going on my LinkedIn now

I'll endorse you

Where's Pistanator when you need him #weapons

Wayne Lapierre of NRA is currently going fucking crazy at CPAC; saying NRA members need to mount "systematic resistance" to the "rogue FBI leadership"

Times like these you start to value the idea of an internal agency choosing the 'grassy knoll' path...

Yeah, but the mafia doesn't exist anymore.

Btw, Fuck sarcoma!

Its all a European Socialist Conspiracy to Control America apparently.

An intetesting insight on radio 4 pm news at 5.20 about what the nra spent on the trump campaign all 30 million of it and and how he championed their support despite previously being anti !! What a hypocrite .

FBI is investigating where that money came from

As a teacher, I think the idea of being armed is fantastic.

Behaviour management would be so much easier if you could just tap your holster and give a meaningful glance at whoever was acting up, and you could settle any with a simple "shut up and remember I'm the one with the gun" without needing to resort to any boring kinds of mature arguments.

Also I'd say only about a third of the people who go into teaching do so because they're the weird kind of people who like exerting authority over others, the smaller and weaker the better, so that shouldn't be too big an issue.

I literally can't see what could possible go wrong.

Yes, I remember a previous link that showed how Russians in the US found it easy to donate to the NRA.

So an armed officer wasn’t effective against gunman, but teachers will be because they’ll get a little kickback?

Mr Trump added: "What I'd recommend doing is the people that do carry, we give them a bonus. We give them a little bit of a bonus."

If regan is remembered for a spitting image puppet and clinton for not having sex with monica this nra funded bllx with russians could be his legacy ! Or downfall (the film)

Hmmm, I've seen through your ironic tone but don't worry, I've a solution; We'll arm the children so they can protect themselves against the armed bad-guy teacher cowards gone rogue.

give them better grades and special training

"Coming soon to ABC Thursday nights - SWAT High School - 10PM Eastern / 9PM Central"

Compulsory guns for every American.

What an absolute fucking joke.

Can't really blame the officer, he only had a pistol against an assault rifle, he knew he was outgunned. Clearly we are not arming the good guys heavily enough.

Boston Dynamics set to release the heavily armed RoboTeacher™ in late 2019.

Probably already covered. But what will the NRA say when one of their proposed armed teachers goes postal? Arm the students just in case?

Edit: Yup - just a couple of posts above. I really should get to the last page before posting...

This is such a win:win for Trump - now when teachers complain about being underpaid, he can say - 'Well, you didn't volunteer for the bonus you get for artillery training'.
