stupid poll, stupid question. Its the same line of crap with "arming the pilots".

Americans!!! Can we stop thinking that giving surtain powers to some people and not others is the right way to solve a problem!!!! Cant we just have CCW legal EVERYWHERE!!! Courts, public schools etc. Cant we give power to the common man and woman that wishes to carry....and who will stand their ground (to protect life) if a badguy entered???

:banghead:
 
Interesting that it hasn't changed seven minutes later....makes you wonder if they "votes" are real.

I've voted in hundres of CNN polls over the years. They don't show realtime results. The accumlate the votes and update the results a few times an hour.
 
It's an idiotic idea to have the school arm teachers and staff.

Allowing legal CCW by staff and faculty is an excellent idea, but having the school system arm teachers is moronic. It would require every employee at a school to be provided with weapons, receive annual training and have annual evaluations. Very expensive and not practicable since some would be opposed on ethical grounds to going armed. Allocating funds and resources to have armed security would be a better idea, but the best idea would be to allow CCW.

I just voted yes. right now at 16%. Schools are an easy target because they are weaponless. This reaction makes a lot of sense.
 
Just voted.

Do you agree with the Wisconsin lawmaker who thinks schools should arm teachers, principals and janitors?

Yes 17% 2919 votes

no

Anyone should be able to carry anywhere, anytime, any way they like. Teacher, pilot, shouldn't matter. If I need to pick my kid up from school, I should be able to carry a gun. If I am flying as a passanger, I should be able to carry a gun. If I am going anywhere I should be able to carry a gun. If private organization wants to restrict it then you have a gray area and my rights vs their rights comes into play. But as a public issue of being legal or not it should be 100% legal to carry anywhere anytime and the only legal infrindgment of that being property owners having a say in what someone can't have on their property.
 
Voted

I voted Yes. No is still ahead. What a surprise to the Communist/Clinton News Network. :rolleyes: When will we take a lesson from Israel or Thailand and have guns in schools ? If I heard correctly, this is the case in UT ?
 
testing the waters

Yes, another poll.

Are ABC and CNN sub polling sites like THR to gather voting information as to the "solidarity" of the shooting enthusiasts?

I guess it's time to replace tin foil with aluminum foil, but I wonder if it works as good?

I wonder if these are the same lawmakers that have done nothing for Wisconsin's CCW laws? Of course I am not from Wisconsin, so maybe it is their govenor. But it makes you wonder.
 
I don't think schools should take on the responsibility of arming teachers, principals, and janitorial staff. Think of all the training that would be required. Now, if they simply said that these people could be armed on school grounds if they have a CCW permit; yes.
 
Of course, the poll isn't worded perfectly.

I don't want them handing out guns to people with the wrong mindset, who could be more of a problem than a help. I don't think people who want to be teachers should be fired because the refuse to carry a gun. I don't think gun access in schools should be restricted to teachers and support staff, parents should have the opportunity to be armed.

That being said, I try to reverse engineer the poll to make it less complex, and even more general, to wit.

More guns, good or bad?

to which I answer, yes, more guns = more safty!
 
I don't think that these folks should be "issued" guns, or anything, but I think a teacher, with the proper license, should be permitted to carry if they choose.

Maybe an armed guard or two would be a better solution than armed teachers in most situations.
 
"I don't think that these folks should be "issued" guns, or anything, but I think a teacher, with the proper license, should be permitted to carry if they choose."
