Let's Arm Teachers [Retired Geezer]

A member of Congress in favor of arming teachers? Guess his political affiliation.

MADISON, Wisconsin (AP) -- A state lawmaker, worried about a recent string of deadly school shootings, suggested arming teachers, principals and other school personnel as a safety measure and a deterrent.

Didn't a principal recently stop a school shooting by running to his (off campus) car and getting his gun?

It might not be politically correct, but it has worked effectively in other countries, Republican Rep. Frank Lasee said Wednesday.

Don't the Israelis require teachers to be armed?
Didn't it cut way down on school shootings?

"To make our schools safe for our students to learn, all options should be on the table," he said. "Israel and Thailand have well-trained teachers carrying weapons and keeping their children safe from harm. It can work in Wisconsin."

Hey, if it saves one kid, I'm for it.
