MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon lawmaker contends the massacre that left more than two dozen people dead at a Connecticut elementary school is another "heartbreaking failure" of school personnel to ensure protection, and is a reminder that teachers should be allowed to carry guns in the classroom.State Rep. Dennis Richardson, a Central Point Republican, wrote in an email to three southern Oregon school superintendents that gun bans on school property must be overturned, the Mail Tribune newspaper reported (http://is.gd/oRfzx6 ) Saturday."If I had been a teacher or the principal at the Sandy Hook Elementary School and if the school district did not preclude me from having access to a firearm, either by concealed carry or locked in my desk, most of the murdered children would still be alive, and the gunman would still be dead, and not by suicide," he wrote.
another republican ranting war rhetoric only place where boyh side have guns, war. if so the criminal would know and that puts a bulls eye on the person's back first, not to mention collateral murder of those kids you are trying to save, this guys gun could off 5 rounds a second if hit his finger squeeze would potentially take out 5 more, so as history proves a gun in the hand of an amateur leads more often to the wrong people dying, but it's ok a republican said it.
In 2009, the Medford School District barred a South Medford High School teacher from bringing her gun to school. The teacher later lost a court appeal case.
correct decision, you don't bring the instrument of death to a school unless you plan to kill, suppose it's a fight no weapon and that teacher is approached how many deaths would that rack up, stand your ground right wing license to kill
