Should teachers be armed?

At this point I am saying Y. Show me why that is a bad idea and I will listen but I am tired of innocent children being killed in schools, which used to be safe. Today, society in general has gone berserk.. all these grieving families.. you never get over the loss of your children.. (Even women who have "chosen" abortion grieve, often deeply, for the lost child they will never know)

No. But the professional school security should be.

Irregardless........ |Why Gun Control Doesn’t Work

“Irregardless“ …not a real word.
That word makes as much sense as having more guns in the schools reduce mass shootings.
Try to stay on topic.

“Irregardless“ …not a real word.
That word makes as much sense as having more guns in the schools reduce mass shootings.
Try to stay on topic.

Not only is "irregardless" a word, but it's probably the best word of all time. Here's why.


"irregardless" is a word. It is, at least according to Merriam-Webster and Scrabble.
But I'm not going to stop there. No. I would also like to contend that "irregardless" is the baddest-ass word of all time. This is for several reasons, which I will now explain.

It's the only word where attaching the "ir-" prefix to the root word has the exact same meaning as the root word: Throwing an "ir-" in front of normal, less bad-ass words that begin with "R" changes the meaning to the opposite of the word. Irrefutable. Irreverent. Irrelevant. Irresponsible. Not "irregardless." It doesn't care what the rules of grammar are. It means exactly the same thing as "regardless," and that's the way it likes it.

Against all odds, against all logic, and (ir)regardless of everyone hating it, it has achieved official word status: How can you not pull for the underdog in this case? "Irregardless" went up against the rules of grammar, stick-by-the-book lexicographers, and the fact that it's a completely redundant word. Didn't matter. Whatever didn't kill it made it stronger. It's the hardest-working word in the dictionary, and it should have earned your respect by now.

Even though it's a word, Merriam-Webster says you shouldn't use it: Can you name another word in the dictionary that the dictionary says you shouldn't use? Even really bad swear words don't have a dictionary-imposed boycott. That just makes me want to use it more.

It simultaneously makes sense and doesn't make sense: You can think of the word in one of two ways: (1) it should mean the opposite of "regardless," or something along the lines of "keeping the facts in regard," or (2) it could mean "regardless of the fact that something is regardless." The latter of the two is like double-super regardless, and it's the meaning I prefer. "Irregardless" really, really doesn't care what the facts are or what you think. It should only be used in extreme circumstances, such as when a course of action is ridiculously counterintuitive. "Irregardless of the fact that you are very thirsty, you should eat this pile of salt." Stuff like that.

It practices what it preaches: Irregardless of the rules of grammar, "irregardless" is a word. It's self-reflexive. It's the exception that proves the rule. It talks the talk and walks the walk. Is there another word like that? No, because "irregardless" is bad-ass. It is a text-based Chuck Norris, roundhouse-kicking everything else in the dictionary into submission.

If you think about it long enough, it will blow your mind: It's the Mobius Strip of words, but it's also packed with Eminem's aggressively apathetic attitude. It's completely unique, completely confusing, and it couldn't give a rat's ass about any of that. It just is what it is. If you don't like it, don't use it.

So that's my argument. I think "irregardless" should be embraced and celebrated. And damn it, I'm going to use it every chance I get.

We need to focus on solutions that could have directly prevented the deaths that occurred in Nashville, Tennessee at the Covenant School and all the others—not unrelated gun control measures that would not have saved a single life in this situation.


Our Children Need ProtectionâThe Real Solution Is to Arm Teachers | GOA

 

[Cougarbear]

Wrong.

There’s no evidence mass shooters seek out ‘gun free’ zones.

The shooter at the theater in Colorado stated he picked the one that said gun free zone. Not the other one. Because most of these shooters die, there aren’t a lot to talk to. But, the evidence from those that lived have stated so. It’s also very logical that these killers seek soft targets meaning easy to access without resistance. They are trying to kill as many people as they can. So, why would they go to a place they know has lots of guns?

Should teachers be armed?

They should be trained in self-defense first.

 

[Ava]

The topic of this thread.....is should teachers be armed?

I think teachers should have the option to be armed, be willing to be trained in practicing gun use, and agree to regular target practice sessions.

 

[Unkotare]

They should be trained in self-defense first.

Should all teachers be "armed" with a bag of salt?

 

[toobfreak]

Should all teachers be "armed" with a bag of salt?

A). There is no "bag" involved. It actually takes very little.

B). Throw a single grain of salt in your eye, then get back to us your experience. I recommend you do it while driving on the highway home in rush hour traffic for best effect.

It is working well in Polk County Florida.

Sheriff Judd has set up a program to train and certify teachers to be the first line of defense for the children.

No. But the professional school security should be.

teachers can be trained to be that.. If not, they shouldn't be teaching.

Obviously, some of them are teaching things we don't want our children taught.. just as dangerous as a gun in the wrong hands

I think I am going to move to FL. You hear so much good about that place... (except for hurricanes )

I could work in the DeSantis admin

Sorry Bud but Florida is full. We have enough people from "upnorth" move here.

However, since you have moral clarity, we could make an exception for you.

DeSantis has really done a lot of good for this state. Best Governor in the US.
