#NRA has a solid plan. However why not just let the teachers who already have CCPs carry in the school? http://t.co/v4wxUglw

As a result of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., the National Rifle Association is calling for armed guards in every school.
Many Twitter users, however, believe it would be more effective and less expensive to allow teachers to arm themselves if they wish.
The NRA would be far more effective leaning on the states to allow all school employees to be armed.—

@dkberman so let the teachers carry. Get rid of the "gun free zone" target on their backs.—

NRA calls for armed police officer in every school onenewsnow.com//ap/united-sta… Not good; We don't need/want a 'police state'. Allow citizens carry!—

One armed officer in entire school is not enough, and more costs too much. Answer is to allow conceal carry in public schools, time is now—

I agree with NRA statement that stated the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Allow school officers 2 be armed.—

Armed guards is a great idea. Let's also arm teachers and allow citizens with concealed permits to carry on campus. fb.me/1podPqlrD—

Us students can't be armed. So why not allow teachers/staff to be prepared just in case. To many life's lost due to school shootings.—

The only problem with one armed guard at a school is the odds that he will likely be the first one shot. Allow teachers to arm themselves..—

@JamesinSELA @cspanwj I do think as part of an individual school's security plan they might want to allow willing teachers to be armed.—

We wouldn't need "armed guards" if we would simply allow teachers with gun licenses carry their guns on them.—

I'm not of "Let's arm all teachers" mentality, but think it's idiotic to bar concealed carry in schools for those teachers who want them.—

Why not try it? Why not allow those teachers who want to be armed, be armed? And advertise that armed security is in the school?—

@KatiePavlich, the key is to allow trained teachers to have concealed guns, that way potential threats wouldn't know who is armed—

Most gun control advocates believe the idea is beyond the pale:
First fucker to say the solution is for elementary school teachers to carry guns needs to get beaten to death.—

We don't let prison guards carry guns, but now the NRA wants teachers packing? Pathetic.—

People are trying to let it be legal for teachers to carry guns at school. Crazy asses.—

Who would let teachers carry guns? That's just complete #Idiocy I cannot stand that idea. We should just put stricter rules on baring arms.—
