Sensible laws for teachers in Toronto..

[Shayne]

If my child were attending school in AZ I would be adamantly opposed!!! When did we, as a society, start being reactive rather than proactive?
"...only dead body" indeed! All arming a teacher does is make them the first target. Guy at the back pulls his weapon and aims... and the teacher does what? Dies. This isn't the Wild West!!! It's reality. How much of a hurry do you think the other teachers are going to be in to confront the gunman? Remember most teachers are female. So in a flood of panicked students the gunman knows who the teachers are but the teachers don't know who the gunman is.
Why don't we just stick the teachers in bulletproof cages... or better yet stick all desks inside their own bulletproof cage.
Doesn't anybody actually think before they come up with these insane schemes!?
How about we keep guns out of children's hands and out of schools and make parents and society accountable. I know, too much work and no emotion rousing results.
More stirring up panic and fear when we have enough crap to try to wade through in finding out what is real and what isn't.

Shayne When did we, as a society, start being reactive rather than proactive?

Shayne, I believe this measure falls under the latter, not the former.



Anyway, this isn't your society, it's mine and I thank God we have law makers with the common sense to realize that keeping firearms out of the hands of law abiding citizens is counter productive to fighting crime and decreasing the number of "Gun free zones" also decreases the number of easy targets for criminals and crazies.

I have a question for you, Shayne and for other Antis in Canada:

" How are all the increasingly stringent gun control laws in Canada working out for you?"

We all know the answer to that question don't we.
