Why these crazy notions

So Trump wants to arm teachers. Look at it this way a shooter has no concern who they shoot. They need not worry about who is behind,close to or moving into their line of fire. A teacher has see a clear target with out jeopardizing students. I guess the N.R.A. would just say to bad but you have to expect some collateral damage. In Maine sporting firearms can only have a limited shell capacity when in the field with good reason. I am a gun owner but my guns all meet the requirements to be used for hunting. The second amendment gives everyone the right to own guns but are military weapons a must. Have people completely lost touch with reality.

the biggest fallacy of giving guns to teachers! Crowded classrooms, hallways, etc. How can you shoot someone with 30 or 40 kids in between you and the shooter! It boggles my mind that no so-called law officers or so-called politicians who all think this is such a great idea, never think of that! And we're talking about teachers, not trained law enforcement officers!
