  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If teachers aren't willing to help keep children safe; maybe they shouldn't be trusted alone with them.
That's a pathetic and outrageous statement and insulting to teachers everywhere. TOS prevents me from being more direct.

Your neighborhood must be pretty bad. Ever thought of moving?

I already did. I moved from a Liberal utopia, to a state where people can defend themselves against murderers.

If you knew very much about firearms; you would understand that a sidearm is far more deadly, in close quarters, than a AR-15.

I already covered this AR-15s are designed to wound. Sidearms are designed for stopping power.
The teacher, by your statement in another post, did not care about the students because she was not armed. Priceless,

As I mentioned earlier, if the teachers had been armed; the students wouldn't have had to.
You really, genuinely believe that more guns, more bullets flying around, is the real answer to this issue? The history of policing efforts of various kinds in the US seems marked by steady escalation, both in what arms people have and the readiness to use them.

You must not know many teachers then.

Statements like these do not support your position, they just show how out of touch you are with everyone else.

Hmmm..... I hadn't really given it much thought. Should we defund the police and just wait until the murderers run out of ammunition?

Not everywhere. Some teachers are willing to keep our children safe.

Yea, how about you stop with your implied insults to our nation's teachers.
A teacher is not a security officer.

A good teacher carries a sidearm while a bad teacher does not. Any teacher that does not want to go armed does not care about the students and does not deserve to be in the classroom. Nice.

I'm not concerned if teachers, who aren't willing to defend their students, are offended by pointing that out.

I Imagine so. As I mentioned before, I was working with police to defend them, and their property.

I hope they gave you a certificate of appreciation or something.

Nothing was "implied". The poster was very clear.

And that is just in schools. I guess we all need to be carrying and ready to kill (in self defense, of course). Is that the answer?

All these cowardly teachers should be fired and replaced with brave teachers that aren't afraid to pop a cap at a miscreant.

“We must abolish the filibuster and pass gun-safety legislation now,” said Sen. Bernard Sanders, an independent and self-described socialist from Vermont. “No one in America needs an AR-15. How many more children, mothers and fathers need to be murdered in cold blood before the Senate has the guts to ban assault weapons and take on the NRA?”

Schumer admits gun-control push will fail, hopes for bipartisan compromise

“I’m sick and tired of it,” Mr. Biden said. “We have to act. And don’t tell me we can’t have an impact on this carnage. I spent my career as a senator and vice president working to pass common-sense gun laws."

Biden demands lawmakers ‘stand up to the gun lobby’ after Texas school shooting

Then there is this riotous stunt:

It was difficult to understand Mr. O’Rourke, who was not wearing a microphone, but his comments included: “This is totally predictable” and “You are doing nothing.”

Those on stage pushed back, telling him to sit down and accusing him of pulling a political stunt.

“You are out of line and an embarrassment,” said Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.

Beto O’Rourke crashes governor’s press conference on Texas school shooting

Are you surprised? If you keep pushing against any sort of reasonable limit on gun usage then people are going to start reaching for the unreasonable limits.

Gun safe? So when I robber breaks down my door with a gun in his hand; I should say, "Dear Sir, I must apologize; but no one alerted me that you would be extending the great honor of visiting me this evening. Please be patient while I open my gun safe to prepare for your visit, as any gracious host would. Please allow me to take your coat and offer you some refreshments. My home is your home. Please make yourself comfortable; as you endure the inconvenience of this unseemly delay?"
I would rather say that then "oops, my son accidentally shot my daughter".

But to each his own.

You seem to be confused. You might go back and follow the conversation. I'm not talking about all teachers. I'm talking about teachers who aren't willing to protect their students.
