    Surely this is a bad idea

    BBC News - South Dakota to allow armed teachers in schools

    There must even be the odd pro-gun person that thinks this is stupid.

    A great idea. It'll be the end of all those snotty little kids causing problems in the back of the room.

    Is that enough abuse to qualify?

    Putting guns near the reach of curious kids? South Dakota is simply moronic.

    Terrible idea. That is due to be the place for the next massacre then.

    Why does it seem the basic idea here is, hey we have a guy problem and threat. Wait I know how to solve it. More Guns.


    The best idea would be to tighten gun laws and ease out the gun culture. When will certain factions of the US realise this.

    If you have a gun culture like America does, it sort of makes sense. Of course, the ideal scenario is no guns at all but that's not going to happen any time soon so better the (supposed) responsible adults have some form of defence if the worst should happen.

    Still very sad.

    Another way of normalising the presence of guns in one's vicinity and entrenching the feeling of a constant threat, and as such deeply counterproductive.

    I am a gun owner, but even to me this sounds like a very bad idea.

    Why Jag?

    Guns are an everyday part of American life. It's piss easy for a nutter to walk into a school and start spraying bullets isn't it. Why not give the teachers a chance of a good old fashioned shoot out instead of being slaughtered. That's their constitutional right after all.

    Guns don't kill people, people kill people and Teachers, Teachers can kill people too. Sod the monkeys

    If you are going to have barbarism, you must at least try to protect the vulnerable and innocent until they can buy more guns and perpetuate the cycle?
