    I said no such thing. If you had some point that was with merit you would not have to fabricate things and then pretend that I said them

    Huge leap to be accusation me of losing my metaphoric fox tail. I didn't. I was too lazy to comply with the Law so I could keep the rifles I had. Your Aesop fox does not move my needle at all.

    Fatback seem to think it's okay, a nothing, because he knows no-one effected by it. That's my point.

    He seems to forget that the revolutionary war that created America was started because the king directed his men to march on American colonies and attempt to take the weapons that they had stockpiled.

    America is literally a nation founded on firearms.
    While his nation was started as a prison colony. It is fitting that they should no longer have rights

    I used to be a teacher (for 44 years) and I was paid to try to teach stuff to young people, not paid to shoot them or anybody else.
    What next? Teachers issued with scalpels to perform surgery? Shackles to keep young people in lessons? Suits of armour?

    The "Pilgrims' Would argue otherwise given they felt persecuted in England.

    But that is by the by.

    Essentially, just like Australia was, the USA was a penal settlement of England whether you like to acknowledge it or not.

    No skin of my nose.

    Sure it is.
    Like no subtle, overt, due or undue pressure, or promotion opportunities will be in the mix huh?
    ‘Let’s promote Ms Smith to head of the Mathematics department because she is a Ninja in the classroom, armed to the teeth she is, a great example to our young people’.
    The idea is so out of my notion of being a teacher that I can’t assimilate it or begin to think it is in any way normal life.

    My point was weapons training is necessary to the other poster who claimed it wasn't.

    Such a fear is completely unfounded.

    Thoughts and prayers are no match for a killer. Armed teachers are.

    Surreal.
    How about armed Midwives?
    Surely they need to be toting around great big automatic weapons on the Maternity wards?

    Are you trying to trivialize mass murder in schools with that line? Do you oppose the second amendment?

    gun banners loathe the idea that an active shooter is stopped by an armed individual who is not law enforcement (actually many gun banners are upset when armed criminals are shot by the police)
