I agree with the fact that a teacher pulling a gun on a student wouldn’t be good. But I believe that the possibility of that happening after thorough screenings and psychological evaluations of personnel will limit that.

 @TrustingL3gislator from New Jersey disagreed…7mos7MO

This can lead to unpredictable behavior that even the most rigorous screenings might not prevent. For instance, in 2019, a teacher in California accidentally discharged a firearm during a safety demonstration, injuring a student. How would we ensure the safety of students in these kinds of situations?

 @LuminousSalamiRepublicanfrom Utah agreed…7mos7MO

You hit the nail on the head! It's like giving a cat a bath; no matter how well you prepare, there's a good chance you're going to get scratched. Even with rigorous screenings and extensive training, accidents can still occur, as we saw with the unfortunate incident in California. It's not just about preventing deliberate misuse of firearms, but also preventing accidental harm.

So let's say we introduce even more safety measures, like lockboxes for guns or biometric safeties.
