    Did I say that? Of course not. I am a firm believer int eh 2nd amendment. I simply think it profoundly stupid to have armed folks in rooms where they are outnumbered 30 to 1 by kids.

    An amazingly accurate assessment of that place, is it not? Hot, humid, filled with all sorts of non human vermin, flat, dirt cheap because few want to live their.

    I'll bet you a sixpack of that plus cost of shipping that you can't ship me a sixpack of that.

    Who knows. It certainly runs contrary to reality.

    You obviously haven't ever been to Florida in the past 20 years or so. It's not cheap, except by California or NE standards.

    It shows that the leftist paranoia of shoot outs and accidents was and is just that, paranoia.

    Which is still unrelated. If I believe that black is white and I'm hitler reincarnated that is still unrelated to the topic at hand. Exactly why did you even brought it up?

    I totally agree.

    Some places in Florida are really swanky, lots of wealthy people, docks on their property, 40 foot twin engine yachts, your view does not hold true for everybody that lives in Florida, not very accurate either.

    Is it? I suppose we may very well find out one day.

    No, my view just holds true for the vast majority in Florida.

    They're not enforcing the law, they are protecting their lives and that of the children.

    Your ability to use a firearm is independent of your job, btw.

    What's stopping them from doing it now? Violent people don't follow the law, that is what we're defending ourselves from.

    It goes to your credibility.

    If you have a history of good rational well thought out, well researched, well evidenced positions then that would support you.

    The opposite is also true.

    Just to repeat, you genuinely believe 100% that the bible's noah flood narrative 100% happened as described in the bible. The whole globe was covered by a flood only noah and his wife (and every species on the planet that he collected 2 of) survived.

    You also believe encouraging teachers who are stressed, bullied , smashed on a daily basis by 30 under developed people to carry guns.

    Keep preaching my friend, I am just enjoying whilst eating my popcorn, perhaps you could share your thoughts on hitler as well since you are going there.

    " You also believe encouraging teachers who are stressed, bullied , smashed on a daily basis by 30 under developed people to carry guns. "

    So, according to YOU, all 30 students smash on their teachers ? what hogwash, you have no credibility whatsoever.

    So you ARE trying to degrade me by listing the other things I believe in? Stop it right here and now. It's an ad Hominem at its lowest. If you have something against armed teachers then address that rather than trying to degrade me.

    You inserted the word all to draw an inference that wasn't in my initial post.

    And I am speaking from my experience with my own children, you can get emotionally smashed from looking after a couple of them, looking after 30 would be extremely extremely difficult.

    Not to mention that most people want to limit the amount of untrained people with guns around children.

    Considering you stoop to weak inference and dropping in words that never existed to come up with your own fantastical notions of what someone is trying to say, having no credibility with you is a compliment in the highest order.

    To repeat I am not trying to degrade you.

    I am keeping everyone informed of all the different things you believe in.

    If I was trying to degrade you I would simply call you a name and degrade you. As I said before if all your opinions are strong, well reasoned, well researched, well thought out opinions me repeating them would only add to your credibility.

    Its up to you as to what your opinions are and whether they shine you in good light or poor light, I am just reminding everyone of them.

    Many teachers, and many from every occupation already are legally carrying. They seem to have no problems. We are talking about allowing teachers with CCWs to carry at school. We are not wanting to make it a mandate.

    Oh yeah, I understand that well, I just question this guys idea that students are all so abusive to their teachers, I know I never was, if anything, I was a disliked by some other students teachers pet.

    When I saw one of my elementary teachers in a bank years later, I was 20, it was an emotional reunion, I was shocked she still remembered me by name, first and last ! I treated my teachers with the respect due them.

    I say that most of my opinions are sound including the one you listed. But why did you list that particular one which is usually mocked by those who disagree with if you're not trying to degrade me. I have vioced other opinions such as abortion and the death penalty.

    Libs only understand things in two terms: mandatory or banned. It's easy to see how they are confused.

    Do you trust a 21 year old cop fresh out of academy over a seasoned teacher who has a history with kids, and is trained and background checked? If a teacher wants to double as an undercover cop for free, let them.

    We trust 18 year olds to carry a javelin anti tank rocket launcher in the desert but we can't trust him to carry a .380 pocket pistol in the classroom?
