This is why teachers need to arm themselves

[BS Filter]

Right, avoid my point.

Are you drunk? What did I avoid?

 

[BS Filter]

Teachers need to be permitted to carry a firearm but it's a real bad idea to force someone to be armed. It's an important distinction.

I agree.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Trained police officers with body armor, ballistic shields, high powered rifles refused to act

In your fantasy you expect teachers will

Oh they'll react all right.
They wont try and hunt the person down but I promise you if the shooter tries to enter their class room they'll most certainly shoot back.

I'm not. I'm just trying to get an explanation for armed guards at the door. So far I don't have one.

Why would Christians not have the right to defend themselves? Their own belief permits that.

Exodus 15:3, “The LORD is a warrior. The LORD is His name.”

2 Samuel 22:35, “He trains my hands for battle, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.”

Psalm 144:1, “Blessed be the LORD, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle.”

John 2:15, “And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.”

Psalm 82:3–4, “Vindicate the weak and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and destitute. 4 Rescue the weak and needy; Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”

1 Timothy 5:8, “But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”

All teachers should be armed with something, even if it's a Super Soaker filled with pepper spray.

At least a paintball gun loaded with pepper balls and a can of mace.

Nowhere did I say they didnt. You can address what I actually said or not. I expect not.

I don't know how some people think being a Christian somehow you're supposed to be some limp pacifist.

Thats because you're stupid.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Yes, three out of millions and millions of church services.

I said three off the top of my head.
You can bet there are far more.

I'll answer, even though I am Norse Pagan.

Because armed guards at the door make people fell safer.

Why is this bullshit a point you are trying to harp on?

No, I can't make that bet.

What you actually said was that the idea of church members protecting their flock was "scary." And that you would be attending church elsewhere.

Nobody is forcing you to attend a church where they have guards or armed attendees.

 

[JGalt]

I don't know how some people think being a Christian somehow you're supposed to be some limp pacifist.

They also interpret that "render unto Caesar" as meaning passively submit yourself to the whims of your government, no matter what.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

No, I can't make that bet.

Obviously.

I can't understand this. Would it make me feel safer? No.

The church is supposed to draw people, not turn them away with armed guards at the door.

I guess it depends on whether you're a pussy or not.
Guns dont intimidate me in the least.

Many people have reacted positively because we are an armed church. We're not gonna be victims.

You realize this is kind of a fucked up way of thinking, right? Most people think just the opposite.

 

[Godboy]

Not all teachers should be armed.
But teachers with gun handling experience, such as ex-military, ex-police, or competitive shooters, should be encouraged to carry.

If my kid is in a classroom with a mass shooter, i dont care if the armed teacher is an old lady with bad eyesight who shoots her gun sideways like a hood rat. Anything is better than nothing.

So you're gunophobic.
