GOP estimates of teacher competence have increased to the point of giving them concealed guns. Joel Send a noteboard - 29/12/2012 02:36:08 AM
I had a teacher who was fired only after she had a total mental breakdown--they did nothing after her several violent outbursts and threats to kill students.

In an ideal world, maybe. But this is the most sheltered, inane thinking I've seen in a long time.

I guess that is a kind of progress. ;) To the NRAs credit (and I never thought I would utter THAT phrase :P) they did not suggest arming teachers, only putting current/retired cops and military reservists at schools. It almost seems like they are grudgingly getting it: All the people they suggest putting at schools with guns would be screened, trained and certified to have guns, and I do not believe even Wayne LaPierre suggested they have concealed guns. That, of course, puts those demanding concealed guns for teachers to the right of the NRA. (8

Hahahaha. That is full of shit. OMG. Thanks for the laughs. *NM* callandor1000 - 28/12/2012 06:30:08 AM 572 Views
I have this to say about that... DREWRULESWOT! - 28/12/2012 07:10:52 AM 1062 Views
That was rather long but probably one of the best things I've read this year Isaac - 28/12/2012 02:31:24 PM 801 Views
Excellent article by a knowledgable individual armed with facts. *NM* HyogaRott - 28/12/2012 04:36:23 PM 402 Views
See my response to Novo. Joel - 28/12/2012 06:28:00 PM 908 Views
please cite the errors, manipulations, or lies. HyogaRott - 28/12/2012 09:30:28 PM 850 Views
I cited two in response to her, and those were just the ones I remember off the top of my head. Joel - 28/12/2012 11:07:36 PM 1005 Views
If you can't remember them, then don't claim them *NM* Isaac - 29/12/2012 03:08:08 AM 463 Views
Two just from memory is enough to substantiate my claim. Joel - 29/12/2012 03:35:49 AM 890 Views
'Substantiate your claim'? I don't think you're lying, I just don't feel any reason to be swayed... Isaac - 29/12/2012 04:00:10 AM 785 Views
... and probably never will, but, alright, here we go: Joel - 05/01/2013 06:53:23 PM 860 Views
Probably, but at least I'll listen Isaac - 05/01/2013 08:30:48 PM 890 Views
The 2 things you attempted to "cite" were absolute nonsense and proved nothing. HyogaRott - 31/12/2012 06:00:00 PM 853 Views
Was that response meant for me or Correia? Joel - 05/01/2013 07:04:31 PM 815 Views
Re: I have this to say about that... Novo - 28/12/2012 05:23:44 PM 1003 Views
Never point a gun at anything you are not going to shoot, nor shoot anything you do not mean to kill Joel - 28/12/2012 06:13:20 PM 889 Views
Still losing the gun debate and it's driving you a little crazy isn't it! Anonymous2000 - 28/12/2012 06:40:51 PM 738 Views
Gallup: 58% want more gun control; Ipsos: 70% want more gun control, 90% want background checks. Joel - 28/12/2012 10:29:50 PM 897 Views
..and 100% want to win the lottery, but it isn't going to happen. HyogaRott - 05/01/2013 02:17:50 PM 976 Views
None of that prohibits regulation, only outright bans. Joel - 05/01/2013 05:25:56 PM 933 Views
I totally disagree with that, it is just wrong-headed Isaac - 29/12/2012 03:51:19 AM 1021 Views

Great read, thanks for posting! *NM* Anonymous2000 - 28/12/2012 05:52:29 PM 408 Views
Yeah, uh, no. Not until you do some serious background checks on teachers. Ghavrel - 29/12/2012 01:00:20 AM 934 Views
GOP estimates of teacher competence have increased to the point of giving them concealed guns. Joel - 29/12/2012 02:36:08 AM 1024 Views
You know the GOP is unlikely to object to background check on teachers, the unions might Isaac - 29/12/2012 02:56:06 AM 873 Views
Thanks for posting that, I enjoyed it a lot A Deathwatch Guard - 29/12/2012 01:36:33 AM 828 Views
his premise is "there's already too many guns so why bother trying anything at all now" moondog - 07/01/2013 06:27:20 PM 896 Views
I don't think that's his sole premise but it's also quite true Isaac - 07/01/2013 07:05:20 PM 914 Views
i think you're missing a piece of the puzzle moondog - 07/01/2013 07:23:02 PM 859 Views
I'm not missing it, I just don't think it's wise or especially moral Isaac - 07/01/2013 09:36:05 PM 913 Views
moral has nothing to do with it, imho moondog - 07/01/2013 11:26:00 PM 968 Views
Re: moral has nothing to do with it, imho Isaac - 08/01/2013 05:40:46 AM 808 Views
last thoughts..... moondog - 08/01/2013 05:18:35 PM 841 Views
Data is data my friend. Please feel free to present your own data if you would like. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 28/12/2012 05:49:09 PM 425 Views
Well I was referring more to the timing of collecting data. callandor1000 - 29/12/2012 04:28:01 AM 1057 Views
Is that the same Gallup that said 54% of America would vote Romney? Joel - 28/12/2012 06:15:43 PM 1005 Views
Once again data is data.....feel free to cite other polling data. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 28/12/2012 06:38:29 PM 424 Views
The goddamn frigging election. *NM* Stephen - 28/12/2012 07:13:04 PM 418 Views
Oh, was the NRA running for something? Good grief, was a ridiculous reach. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 28/12/2012 08:07:56 PM 431 Views
No, but it shows Gallup polls are horseshit. *NM* Stephen - 28/12/2012 08:48:12 PM 412 Views
No it doesn't, it only shows that Romney was more awful of a candidate than Obama was. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 28/12/2012 09:14:00 PM 440 Views
Not according to Gallup, just most US voters; Gallup DOES say 58% of the US wants more gun control. Joel - 28/12/2012 10:22:19 PM 1062 Views
Yes. Most of us aren't against guns per se; we're against the inane concepts of gun "shows" Ghavrel - 29/12/2012 01:06:50 AM 798 Views
Exactly, crazy libs like Joel want to get rid of all guns, but normal Americans..... Anonymous2000 - 29/12/2012 01:36:00 AM 836 Views
Link a single post where I said I wanted to get rid of all guns. Joel - 29/12/2012 02:29:53 AM 913 Views
Then what would you suggest? Great Lord of Chaos - 29/12/2012 07:23:27 AM 976 Views
Too bad the radical fringe on both sides drowns us both out so well. Joel - 29/12/2012 02:25:31 AM 948 Views
Previous polling failures by Gallup are evidence for the claim that Gallup polls are flawed. Ghavrel - 29/12/2012 01:05:08 AM 961 Views
Gallup was Romney +1 with +/- 4% on Election Day.....turned out Obama +3. Anonymous2000 - 29/12/2012 01:33:45 AM 785 Views
So what I don't understand about this whole teachers with gun thing Spriteling - 30/12/2012 12:42:05 AM 929 Views
It would strictly be voluntary Isaac - 30/12/2012 03:02:18 AM 905 Views
You seriously don't think a linebacker can take a gun off a 5' teacher?He can just punch her. Ghavrel - 30/12/2012 09:45:05 AM 895 Views
He can already punch her, not all schools are high schools and that's not the norm for spree killers Isaac - 30/12/2012 03:05:55 PM 990 Views
Leveling that playing field is much of the point of guns. Joel - 05/01/2013 05:43:47 PM 936 Views
You aren't familiar with guns if you think that a large male can't disarm a woman who has one. Ghavrel - 07/01/2013 10:14:21 AM 905 Views
Well Paul Ali Slater didn't, disarming is risky, and he seems familiar enough with them to me *NM* Isaac - 07/01/2013 01:25:28 PM 480 Views
