You seriously don't think a linebacker can take a gun off a 5' teacher?He can just punch her.

To say nothing of the power dynamics that a teacher having a lethal weapon would entail.
EDIT: You know what? I don't actually know what the effects would be on kids' psyches. Next time I see my shrink, who used to specialize in child psychology, I'll ask him.

Never point a gun at anything you are not going to shoot, nor shoot anything you do not mean to kill

Gallup: 58% want more gun control; Ipsos: 70% want more gun control, 90% want background checks.

GOP estimates of teacher competence have increased to the point of giving them concealed guns.

Not according to Gallup, just most US voters; Gallup DOES say 58% of the US wants more gun control.
