Idea to arm our teachers just raises more questions

protest by boycotting their classes until the politicos felt the sting of the cost of the boycott, then the legislators would be pressured to act and not just blow smoke into the news cycle. Unfortunately, only money talks in this country.

If you can look past the horrendous act and analyze the situation, maybe, just maybe, ostracizing an individual and going as far as voting that a person was most likely to do something of this nature isn’t the smartest way to deal with any individual who obviously was having issues. The “system” unequivocally failed this citizen and now he’ll probably die for his misdeed. F. Michael Starkovich, DeFuniak Springs, Fla.

My longevity is due to this policy: “Never argue with someone holding a gun.” So, how will students be able to question what their gun-totin’ teachers say in safety? What happens if a disruptive student throws a spitball in class? Will he/she be shot? How about just a simple wound if it’s a first offense?

Since substitute teachers don’t work full-time, will the school provide a gun when they get an assignment, or will they have to bring their own?

Since three armed guards reportedly were unable to stop carnage at the Parkland school, how many armed guards will it take? If giving “good guys” guns will protect against bad guys with guns, how will we know who the good guys are? How will they be chosen?

Questions abound, but I’m sure the president has thought this through thoroughly. The Donald wouldn’t duck deep analysis, would he?
