RE: Utica College was placed on lockdown due to 'Credible Threat'

in #news7 years ago

By Constitutional law we still have the right to bear arms. If a teacher is legally allowed to carry and has proper training, then I don't see a problem with it. The reason we allow police officers to pack is because they're trained, so a civilian who's trained should have the same consideration. This would only make the schools safer and not otherwise.
Great post!

Ya! when they talk about gun bans or restrictions, at least it's like "ok, if you think that would actually be effective at stopping bad people from having guns..."

at least you can sort of almost see why they think that

But having these little carveout areas where different rules would apply.. where you basically force schools to admit that they're unarmed.. just shouldn't possibly make sense to anybody

like even if you want there to be a gun ban, you still shouldn't want people at schools to go first.. you shouldn't want to force them to be unarmed when you know the general population isn't
