He,s talking about highly trained and skilled teachers potentially being armed. Not handing them firearms like they are HB pencils. Schools across the US have had metal detectors and security guards for decades in some areas. I see nothing wrong with a properly trained individuals having a concealed carry that could help stop/prevent further shootings.
I have a better idea. Why not build a society where there is no need for teachers to be armed?
Nah, that's impossible. I can't think of anywhere that has no need for armed teachers ...

You mean like the trained, armed resource officer that was at the school but waited outside and didnt go in and confront the shooter as everyone assumed he would?
Arming and training teachers to shoot people has to be one of the most absurd ideas out there. I really dont get the US.

Where do we find these teachers that are highly skilled and trained in protecting children from an armed attacker? I am not sure many military personnel or police would want that assignment nevermind people that decided to go into the teaching profession. Go back to your childhood and imagine your various teachers. Now picture them opening fire on a guy in fatigues with an AR-14 to protect a room full of children. How does it go in your mind, because it does not end well in mine?
Oh man where to start. So a couple days ago I was arguing with a pro gun guy at work about conceal carry. As he was talking to me I pulled my hand out of my pocket and made a gun gesture, pointed at him and yelled BANG! mid sentence. He just stared at me all confused as I told him I just shot him in the face. Conceal carry doesn't mean shit if a shooter just assumes everyone has a gun and plans his attacks accordingly.

You're not being fair to the NRA and the politicians they pay for.
They are saying that only those who've earned degrees in education AND a number of special-op's courses will be able to stop the mentally ill who are armed better than anyone in the US Army. (And to boot, their salary will bump up from minimum wage to minimum wage + $0.50 an hour!)
Oops, latest reports say we're now up to four hiding deputies.
Shame they weren't trained and armed.

Good idea, but I guess it might not make any difference at all. I mean what are we talking about here?
Instead of increasing the safety of children in the US by removing certain weapons or rethinking the laws, a lot of people do not get the issue and rather increase the amount of weapons circulating. Wow.

The shooter has a mental issue, but the people who think pumping out millions of weapons of mass destruction are completely sane.

I honestly do not think that you can compare the US with Israel.

Seriously?
Both countries settled by armed thugs who killed the indigenous people and stole their land, both are nuclear armed belligerents and profit immensely from thriving arms industries, are repressive surveillance police states whose security apparatus kills people at home and abroad with impunity sometimes using proxies spreading death and destruction to destabilize other governments, and, both currently have deranged heads of state under investigation for corruption etc..........
