Wisconsin Republicans Robin Vos and Kevin Nicholson are open to the idea of arming teachers . . .

So, they want teachers to do the jobs of police officers, who are trained, wearing all sorts of protective gear, etc. Teachers should not responsible for protecting students against intruders. It's totally ridiculous that this is even being talked about.

1. Eventually we will all have to be armed, trained, and wear protective gear.

This is where we are headed. By choice.

[Diamond_Dog]

3. Like this

[Irish_Dem]

6. Yes exactly.

[Woodswalker]

2. They fall short on the details

Even a teacher who is willing to be armed is no match for someone carrying an Assault Rifle and would become the very first target of the killer. So in essence to be effective the teacher would have to have an assault rifle with a sling strapped over his or her shoulder thru the course of the day. Nice Image, Eh?

4. And teachers who don't want to be armed?

Will it become a job requirement?

7. Maybe Robbin Vos, Keven Nicholson and the rest . . .

who propose arming teachers should take turns protecting our schools. See if they are willing to confront someone with an automatic weapon.

8. Typical. Always looking for a bandaid to contain

A hemorrhage from a self-inflicted wound.

If our trained police can’t or won’t do it, it’s time to ban the guns, not ask the teachers the GOP has been $hitting on since Act 10 to do it.

9. The teacher will be the first one killed. Bad idea.

[Jimbo S]

11. Reminds of an old 80's U.K. poster

"Missile Sites = Target Sites". I know, different issue, but I think comparable.

[Jimbo S]

10. I can't even fathom the teachers I had in elementary school

packing heat. They wouldn't have had the right "personna" or whatever the word is.
