Teachers could stop shooters from killing many people inside schools. A sticker on a door will never stop a person from doing what they want. A school resource officer may help but is only one person.
Schools should arm their teachers and less school shootings would happen. No person would walk into a school shooting when they know that there are guns on the other side waiting for them. There are plenty of teachers around that even if half were armed the kids would be safer. Instead of teachers losing their lives for students they could be protecting them and protecting themselves.
Just like the recent Florida shooting, how many of those lives could have been saved if teachers in that school would have been armed. Seventeen innocent people had to die because there was no body to protect them from the horror that occured. In Sandy Hook how many of those 26 people would still be with us if even one teacher would have been armed? It is hard to say if allowing teachers to have guns would be the best thing, but it would help in situations such as these school shootings.
Why should innocent people have their second amendment right taken from them because certain people think it's their right to kill someone? We do not ever blame the car for killing someone; we blame the drunk driver. So my question is why do we blame the gun for killing people? It’s all the person behind the gun. We are blinded by the truth.
If every school would have two teachers who are armed and one resource officer it would make sending kids to school a healthier thought for many American parents. Parents fear sending their kids to school because they fear when they say goodbye that morning it will be the last time they see them. That should not be a fear any parent should have. Sending kids to school should be a good thing.
Let us stop school shootings by arming our teachers. We can ease many parents’ minds by doing a simple thing. Will it be a good thing? All we can do is try and see how things go. America has always been the place of can do’s and change. So let's change some things and say yes, we can do that. We can make schools safer.
