Donald Trump wants to arm teachers with guns

[possibletarian]

As a teacher...

#1. Are we going to get paid more for this?  My guess is no.  They didn't pay us more when they required we become CPR certified (at least that made sense)

#2. What happens when a teacher decides to go ballistic on their students, and shoots up a school?  Do you then give guns to the kids?  Eventually everyone has a gun.  That's the goal isn't it?

#3. The NYPD has roughly 40% firing accuracy.  What do you really think our accuracy is going to be?

#4.  What happens when I shoot the school shooter, then--another teacher, mistaking me for the gunman shoots me.  Then the SWAT team arrives, and witnessing that teacher having shot me--the swat team mistakes the other teacher for an active shooter, and shoots them.  Do my husband and kids get paid $3M in NRA money to hopefully make it all go away?  Or does that money just go directly to Marco Rubio?

#5. I'm 5'4, and weigh roughly 110 lbs, how hard would it be for a student to overpower me and get my gun?

That was also my first thought.

For guns to be effective against an attack of this type, they would need to be very readily and quickly available, which of course means they are available to everyone I can see your scenario being acted on very quickly. Of course it's not limited to students going batshit either, a teacher could too.

I find it so frustrating when you have guns a tool designed literally to kill people is not seen as a problem.
