Teachers are the last people in the world who should be armed. They have an unfair and unrealistic work load now. To be willing and able to stop a school shooter will likely require extensive training, practice, and mindset that the teachers should not be expected to do and have. Also, the idea of throwing them a little extra money to do this task is insulting. Frankly, if my grandchildren are in danger of being shot in school, I want a well-paid and trained mercenary who will not have any moral issues with shooting anyone with a gun, including a twelve-year-old. Kind of on the lines of the Secret Service or FBI, when they protect our politicians. What we need are federally funded, trained and armed security. And, the money should not go through the local politicians and school board. Those monkeys have their fingers in enough pockets now. BTW, as an Independent, I am not a fan of the GOP, but other than raping our 2nd amendment rights, I haven't heard anything productive from the Democrats. They are just the flip side of a dirty penny.
