Teachers should NOT be armed!

In our society it is not safe for teachers to have guns on school grounds and in the classrooms. Any student should not feel safe going to school while a teacher is armed because you never know how the teacher may be feeling or what would be going on in his or her head/ life outside of school. I feel like every student should just go to school without having to think about there teacher being armed because it can turn out to a total disaster. Teachers are not always in a good mood so what if the teacher gets mad at a student? Something bad can really happen as in a student possibly getting shot. Guns can be really dangerous especially for the learning environment for all the students. Kids wouldn't be able to do there work because they would always have negative thoughts in their head that can possibly be true about their teachers. However, armed teachers could be good just because if there was an active shooter in the building, teachers can actually use it against them so the students can be safe. Guns and violence is never the solution, the best guns are no guns. One day, people will realize armed teachers can be really dangerous not just for the education of the students but for their lives. 

Securing or Threatening?

In today's society many people have different opinions on how we use guns. Guns can put students and teachers at dangerous risks. Everyone knows a parents first worry is the safety of their child. Other then fact that teachers probably don't feel safe it shouldn't be a obligation to have in the classroom. Parents don't feel too safe with teachers carrying guns on them because you don't know who can get their hands on the weapon. There is a more chance of a student or teacher getting seriously injured. Most teachers aren't trained to use a weapons and if they are, shooting someone is not something any educator would want to do.

Knowing there are guns in school can create anxiety attacks for students, teachers and especially parents. Bringing weapons in school can lead to more harm. Students and teachers need to feel more secure than to feel more threatened. Teachers could mistake someone as a shooter and accidentally kill an innocent student.  The safety of any student is the reason for consideration of armed teachers. We believe teachers shouldn't be blamed for shooting a student if that was to ever happen in future reference. If you were to analyze the increase of gun violence in our schools over the few decades, it's safe to say that there is one common thread: mental instability.

Defensive weapon or deadly weapon ?

On February 14, 2018 there was a shooting at Stoneman Douglas High school which took the lives of 17 people and mentally damaged the family's that lost members in this tragedy. The shooter; Nikolas Cruz was using an AR15 which they use in the military.  But what if the United States had a law where you could only purchase hand guns such as pistols, would the Stoneman Douglas tragedy have happened?  Would Nikolas Cruz have taken the lives of 17 innocent souls?

There is a lot of controversy on if we should or shouldn't be able to own machine guns. People say that we have the right to "bear arms" and should be able to purchase machine guns. But we as a group don't believe it is so necessary to use such powerful guns as defensive weapons because of the fact that hand guns are just as powerful as machine guns. The world record for how fast a handgun can be shot is 3.7 seconds, with the use of 27 rounds. Crazy right ? So if you can do 27 rounds in 3.7 seconds with a hand- gun, why is it necessary to use machine guns as a "defensive weapon" ?
