"A 6-year-old boy shot and wounded a teacher on Friday at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia, US police said... The injury to the teacher, a woman in her 30s, was considered life-threatening, though she had shown some improvement in the hospital, police chief Steve Drew told reporters.
There was no further explanation for how a 6-year-old acquired the handgun. Police described it as an "altercation" in the first-grade classroom that resulted in one shot fired."

Arming students with handguns to stop mass shootings has now been proven absurd by this tragedy. A sudden movement to take out a pencil from your pocket could result in the teacher shooting you!

OK I don't mind moving my post but the topic might be worth an opening post if the other discussions are after the main themes of their threads.

Who proposed arming students with handguns to stop mass shootings?
 
Michael McMahon said:
Well at least any such proposal in the future has been pre-emptively criticised!

I don't know about that. Every cloud has a potential silver lining. Maybe teachers will do a better job at teaching if they don't want to get shot.

With normal folks I would think that was a joke, but here, coming from you, I can't tell.

Hey, look at that, an unprovoked personal jab from the Gateman. What a surprise!!!

Since when is telling the truth a personal jab?

The best personal jabs are true, but that has nothing to do with yours. The only truth revealed by your comment was your stunning lack of perception.

You made a tasteless joke, which fell flat. A bigger man would acknowledge he misspoke.

A bigger man wouldn't have an aneurysm over someone else's "tasteless joke" that "fell flat."
