This should work in their favor, if the teachers don't abuse the fact they have guns, of course.

"Billy! You'd better do your homework or I'm coming over to your house and shooting you in the knee!" Should never happen. If it does, then that teacher needs to be sent to a mental institution :P

Actually, this is almost correct.

It's not the fact that everyone should be armed, but that they should be allowed to protect themselves. Banning guns does not work like everyone thinks, just look at the U.K. or Austraila. Unarmed citizens are more likely to be a victim than known armed citizens, it's a fact. Not all of the following statstics are 100% up-to-date, but they give you an idea.

Fact: Armed citizens are a deterrent. Guns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year, or 6,849 a day...and most of the time the gun is never fired and no one is hurt, not even the criminal. Every day, 550 rapes, 1,100 murders, and 5,200 other violent crimes are prevented just by showing a gun. In less than 0.9% of these instances is the gun ever actually fired.

Fact: 60% of convicted felons admitted that they avoided committing crimes when they knew the victim was armed. 40% of convicted felons admitted that they avoided committing crimes when they thought the victim might be armed.

Fact: In Texas, murder rates fell 50% faster than the national average in the year after their concealed carry law passed. Rape rates fell 93% faster in the first year after enactment, and 500% faster in the second. Assaults fell 250% faster in the second year.

Fact: In 1982, Kennesaw, GA passed a law requiring heads of households to keep at least one firearm in the house. The residential burglary rate dropped 89% the following year.

Fact: Two-thirds of the people who die each year from gunfire are criminals being shot by other criminals.

Fact: 11% of police shootings kill an innocent person - about 2% of shootings by citizens kill an innocent person.

I have more.

I would have no complaints if every firearm on the face of the Earth disappeared. But they won't, and pretending that they will won't help anything. You all can live in fantasy land if you want, but I'm staying strapped (being robbed at gunpoint will make you think about your safety a lot more). It's cool, I don't hate people for not wearing their seat belts either.

This is a good way to stop some crazy *** mother ****ers from going into schools and just shooting the hell out of everybody. If they know the teachers have guns, they're going to be more hesitant, and won't do that shit. Even if they do, it's them against 20+ armed and trained people ( Teachers ), and less people will be killed. As long as they don't abuse them, which I don't think most teachers will. I think more school shootings will stop happening if all teachers are trained to use guns and have guns. "Nothing stops gun violence like using more guns"?...I really don't see the logic in that sentence. Insane people who don't want to live want to take their anger out on others. They do it in schools, why? Because no one is walking around with a ****ing gun( Now that they've started, school shootings = less often) There's a reason they don't ****ing walk into a police station with ****ing guns Phr0zen... the guys in the police station have guns, and the insane guy walking in there with a gun will be shot before he even empty's half his clip. That's why you don't see " LOCAL NEWS : Police station shooting" as often as school shootings.

March of the black lions = win.

It's unfortunate that people feel that it is better to restrict and regulate law abiding citizens rather than to empower them.

This is one of the most important things, which I think should be bolded:

Not simply a "hey, lets let the teachers have guns!" move. There is much more to do than those that would normally just get a gun.

And one more thing that I think would be best, is that the gun can't be loaded at all times. Carry the weapon and the clip, but not together.
The gun will be already holstered, so you can't react immediately to a shooting, so for a surprise shoot-out, there would be no difference in the two cases.
But it would ensure that it's a lot harder for any accidents to happen.
