With over 170 mass shootings so far this year, in a country that already has more guns than people, it blows my mind that anybody can actually think the solution is “more guns!”
so these sentinels gonna do a better job that 300+ armored, armed, and fully trained law enforcement professionals couldn’t deal with as a group for over an hour???
We are going to see these “sentinels” mishandle guns or worse shoot unarmed students because they “felt” threatened. And it will happen even more than school shootings.
“Texas state Rep. James Talarico, a Democrat and former teacher who voted against Tuesday’s proposal, said he worried the bill would create an incentive for teachers struggling financially to start carrying weapons.
“Even teachers who don’t want to carry guns may feel like they are financially pressured to do so just so they can provide for their families,” Talarico said.”
Any teacher would be stupid not to figure a way to qualify. With how teachers are paid, that’s a massive step up. It requires training in “identifying mental health disorders” and the gun safety training. You could literally just cary a fake gun, one not loaded, or just pretend to have one for an extra $140 every day you work.
My country is fucking insane. Under pay teachers and incentivise them to cary guns to schools, in order to protect kids from the flood of guns they claim don’t kill people.

Did Texas put a bounty on teachers because this is something I would totally expect from them!!!

How does that logic make any sense?

I’ve read enough X-Men to know that it’s *never* good when Sentinels show up at a school…

Let’s give hand guns to people to stop crazy people in bullet proof outfits and AR-15s.
btw, check this out, proving why this idea is so stupid.

The USA way. Mutually assured destruction “worked” during the cold War so let’s try it in our schools. More guns, then bigger guns.

Man that’s *really* shitty pay for a job that’s guaranteed to get you killed.

If history is any indication, these armed teachers are more likely to be fragged by cops.

What a pathetic state.
