(59,475 posts)It is an asinine, stupid, idiotic argument in the case of the teachers, who will, under pressure, already have many things that they do to try to save their students. Not to mention, I assume the gun would logically have to be locked up and unloaded until needed. This means even if the teacher were an ex Marine sharp shooter, in the case in Uvalde, he/she would still have moved to lock the door as the first step before retrieving and loading the gun. At which point, he/she would likely have been shot just as the teacher was. This ignores all the other reasons why guns do not belong in the class room.
As to the SCJ, they could obviously opt to arm themselves. In addition, they already have some protection from federal marshals. The impetus of the bill to begin with was to prevent protestors outside their homes.
