Is this the wishy-washiest new-age explanation you've ever heard? Even if they're being honest about their motivations, it still goes down as an epic :doh:

This can't possibly go wrong. Arming teachers.

Oh good, so the next time bullets start flying in a school, there's going to be even more of them. And I'm sure no accidental shooting will happen. No one will be shot by mistake by a panicking teacher who (no matter how many hours on the range he has) has never been in a life or death situation that he was never trained for.

Or between this and anti-vaxers (granted only the gun thing is American only) the USA's way of combating over population? A bit mean, I know, but this is just reckless and irresponsible.
The meaning of life is BOOM!!!

Imagine you're a black teacher. Cops turn up at a school and see a black dude holding a gun. What do you think is going to happen there?

Whoa, hadn't even considered that part. Or if the teacher is Middle Eastern in appearance, or whatever people think Middle Eastern may be.

297 people were killed by rifles last year.

The evil black weapon that can potentially carry 30 rounds.. semi automatic ...was used in a fifth the killings compared to a blade alone.

This stat line includes bolt action and semi automatic rifles*

How many kids do you require to be killed every year so that you can not have gun control?

There is no reason on Earth for anyone not in the active military (in combat) to have a combat weapon.

Kinda seems like sensible gun laws lead to more sensible gun owner behavior.

Really? Really? You are actually going there?

Wow. You are scary. Seriously. There is no redeeming factor in this brainmelt.

Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

Y'know, lots and lots of isolated stabbings can be totally equated with calculated mass shootings of children. Yup.
