Does America need to give elementary school teachers weapons?

no. i think America needs to start using tickle fights as a way to enforce justice

It's a manifestation/outcomes of how American society has for a couple of many years spiralled down into the depths of liberatarian anarchy. Long gone are the days when the basic, most simple ethical values of which the Union used to be forged had been instilled in the minds of the following generation. We need more colleges that instruct these intrinsic ethical values that transcend race, religion and social repute and by some means we can off the next generation proper. And protection cameras, point of entry checkpoints,safety patrols and police puppies in all public schools must do the trick. < democracy without values is anarchy >

Good idea!

And maybe a security force made up of those teddy bear things from the Forest Moon of Endor.

There's no evidence to suggest that lightsabers can deflect bullets. Lasers certainly, but not bullets.

No they need to stop selling weapons altogether. Duh. A crazy lunatic (such as the one from Connecticut) is going to have no trouble killing people. A teacher isnt going to use weapons because i doubt taking someone's life is as easy as simply pulling a trigger.

An easier fix would be to lock school doors when a class is in progress.

Nope, even with weapons things will still happen. We don't need weapons we just need to fix how we do things.

No, because they are already too dangerous getting sexual with children. Get them weapons and the nut ones would also be going on shooting rampages.

they don't need to be equipped with anything more than they have had all these years... parents need to pay a little more to their children and if you have one that seems distant and won't talk to you then take them to talk to someone because it might be the best for them. if we start arming everyone that seems to be a recipe for disaster

no, you don't start a freaking firefight in an enclosed room with 25 little children
