Quote

Republican state lawmakers sent a bill to Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on Wednesday that empowers local boards of education to allow teachers to carry a gun in the classroom.

 

Under current law, a teacher would need consent of a board plus more than 700 hours of training to bear arms in school.

…

In a statement, DeWine indicated he’d sign the bill.

In light of taking potential gun control measures to protect schools, 62 percent said that they are in favor of having armed guards stationed at all schools, while 51 percent said they support giving teachers and school administrators the "option of being armed at school."

They really are going to make them carry guns and risk their own lives, instead of banning easy gun buys or even making cops move their asses

America is truly a **** show...

 

How long until we hear about a teacher snapping? No one needs a ******* gun 

[Archetype]

Or you can ban the sale of assault rifles?  Or just ban the sale of guns in general?  Or require legitimate background checks and mandatory training before purchase?  There are so many OBVIOUS ways to deal with this but no, let’s ask teachers to get 700 hours of training so they can carry a gun inside their classroom.  A joke.

Absolutely not. How disgusting. The fact this is real just says so much... This society is going BACKWARDS!

[wesleywalrus]

republicans really think more guns = safer when in reality 0 guns = safer 

[Headlock]

More guns = safer, because the gun lobby that bribes law makers now gets to sell twice as many guns

And for this reason, Congress will pass a bill to give teachers funding to buy an AR-15, but not to buy school supplies to teach kids.

So embarrassing

This isn't even going backwards. Aside from the literal civil war in the 19th century, there has never been a time where a political movement in America has just wanted to place guns EVERYWHERE in the name of safety. It's utter madness. 

 

Bans, 1-year licenses with strict requirements. Like, we know it's mostly really young men who do this type of ****, put roadblocks in place for acquisition, doesn't violate your stupid 2a while also protects more and more citizens and also, honestly, advocates for ACTUAL responsible gun ownership.

Abolish America.

The fact that it's a YouGov poll and not like a Trafalgar poll or something  

[A Bomb]

Sorry to laugh but what else can I do. We are living in hell. The fact that in Ohio those guns will be used to intimidate Black kids.

Mental illness. The entire country 

[fauxtography]

[Ichinaru19]

How sad. This country is a piece of work

[RockStarShit101]

More guns and not just that, more guns IN schools. Are you ******* kidding me? 

[DONTYELLATME]

Republicans want to eliminate public education lol they’ll scare you enough and defund schools to rot so you can take your kids out of school for homeschooling 

 

they’ll never do anything about it, you gotta work around them not with them if you want to save the USA
