This is absolutely nuts. I'll await the first reports where teachers go nuts and use their gun to handle diffucult students. Of course the student will arm better next time and will catch the teatcher by surprise. Lets see the suicide rates amongst teachers go up.
So on the same token, lets equip all medical personel with guns who might have to deal with patient violence, what about the kindergarden? Surely those kids have to defend themselves when threatened by another. So let all people in public positions carry guns in cluding the priest in churg. Why does you president not carry a gun when doing speeches? He is defenseless right now.
This is an insult to the human race. Incredible naive and stupid. This really is one of the reasons the rest of the world thinks 'the presidents IQ is a reflection of your society. How can it possibly get worse than this ?? Lets surely not address the problem, but only the symptoms.
