the only way to prevent school shootings is to allow the teachers to carry guns for protection.
That's like when Archie Bunker said to that the only way to prevent airplane hijackings was to arm your passengers.
Now as far as teachers carrying guns on school grounds: Are you quite certain that possessing a teaching certificate makes one mentally equipped to carry a firearm? Because, and I realize I'm 50 years old, but when I was a kid, we had some real wackadoo fucking teachers.
Plus, what does the nebbish, bookwormish teacher do when rushed for his/her weapon?
Maybe you were joking, but that's a ridiculous idea. Just my opinion.
