If that is in Texas, it wouldn't surprise me. Why don't we save the taxpayers some money and execute the criminals ourselves.

yum yum why not just take having a gun out of the american constitution and ban firearm's instead of moaning about them been miss used ive seen the video of them 2 teenagers before they went into the school and shot it up.... end up getting more ff than hitting the students with the guns... let alone a officer having a weapon...

"" Think america need's to do that before other countrys respect them pushing they noise in on other country with firearms ""

Worse rule ive ever seen..... and the weapons you can get is really stupid... let alone not needing a licence for military weapons...

So Its a big fat no unless its a taser...

Banning stuff doesnt work - marijuana is banned, do you smoke it? (cant remember if you do - I do but its banned - doesnt work - in fact, it is a great motivator for people to become traffickers - great pay)

The 'idea' of a gun exists so removing it from respectable people's hands only places it in the troubled peoples hands. The idea is always there

Most gun crime is commited by guns ILLEGALLY bought so 'banning' them and using 'law' as a deterrent doesn't work as proved by existing gun laws

How do you fix it? Well, why are these kids killing others? Depression? Then medication/meditation is the fix. It is poverty? Well, then thats a tougher one which most likely be fixed by toppling a government (hypothesis).

I attack reasons for people committing crimes rather then attacking the 'crime' itself as it doesnt 'prevent it'

I would've thought that was against the law if they would shoot it, but maybe not.

I always find it amusing that the most common argument for laws against guns is the Columbine shootings... where the guns were purchased illegally. And the "Brady Bill" puts a waiting period on guns... while Brady was shot with a gun purchased months in advance.

Erm Banning does not work? Look at the uk you only get shot by an illegal gun which is less than likely.

Our officers do not carry weapon's other than pepper spray and a baton it proves banning guns works...

Only our armed police have gun's...

So saying banning gun's don't work is just bs.... are the bullet’s illegal that are put into the illegal gun’s or are they got from the shops…

How easy is it to buy the ammo without been reg with a gun in a gun store….

No one need's the guns like the american gun shop's stock - and the guys who shot the people in the school the guns and ammo and video shows it was got from a store,...

Wven the sniper killings in the us the guy got his guns from a store...

This is a horrible idea. Teachers shouldn't have guns. :roll:

Has anyone ever seen the film Class of 1984? The film has a scene where the teacher aims a gun at his students to get them to shut up and listen. It seems like this film is almost a documentary these days.
