@sandlapper37 those are the kind of arms I want to see

@sandlapper37
Educator. Nanny. Armed Security Guard...

We don't pay our #Teachers enough for all we expect of them. 🤦‍♂️

@sandlapper37 Armed guards and active shooter drills are the final, and often weakest, link in the chain that protects against an atrocity.

Every “hey, how are you doing, you seem down?” conversation, access to healthy media that doesn’t conflate power and control and violence, physically and emotionally present caring, adult figures, access to good mental health care: those do so much more to reach people before they give up.

@sandlapper37 sorry, you’ll have to settle for this Smith&Wesson. And you’ll have to supply your own bullets and training.
@piratero See today that Tennessee has passed bill allowing teachers to conceal carry.

@sandlapper37 astoundingly poor decision-making there.

My school had metal detectors at every door and a monitor, typically a local police officer. Someone with actual suppression training.

It saddens me greatly to see this.

@piratero Solving the gun problem with more guns.
@sandlapper37 it gets you no where. Like adding an accelerant to a fire.
@sandlapper37 Arm them also with a living wage.
@sandlapper37 Gouverment: Ok so you say more guns to everyone.
