It's meaningless, but it's the kind of buzzword-sounding stupidity that the GOP thrives on. Mostly because being meaningless makes it hard to actually argue against.
What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

So the problem's not that "more guns" isn't the solution, it's that we just haven't reached the number of guns needed for it to work.
They'll half ass it, they won't pay for ammo, and the teachers won't touch them damn things anyway. This is literally just the test bed for when the republicans move to end public education claiming there is absolutely no way to ensure the safety of students.
The only thing accomplished by arming teachers is ensuring that future shooters will see them as a threat and shoot them first.
I am trying to imagine any of my teachers being armed.
I'm scared.

Also giving them guns != training them properly in gun safety and marksmanship. It doesn't matter how many guns you have if you can't hit the broadside of a barn and breaksprain your wrist in doing so. Or any number of other issues because they're not properly taken care of, or held properly.
And that doesn't even address the issue of how well they would be able to do all this in a stressful situation(assuming you don't go full army marksman training with them and drill them until it's just muscle reflex)

My 9th grade algebra teacher was driven to such a severe mental breakdown that the entire class was dissolved. It is a very good thing that she did not have a gun in her desk.
Or that future shooters will BE the teachers. Giving people in stressful situations lethal weapons is just asking for trouble. Lets see...
Teachers are
--Underpaid
--Overworked
--Have to deal with the same kids who just LOVE trying to push the buttons of any adult authority figure over and over again EVERY day
...but with guns. Jesus Christ.
They don't have the budget for updated/enhanced learning facilities, but we got the budget to give every teacher a strap?There IS something meaningful being done about school shootings in Ohio.

I'm sure they'll take the money from something else that would've actually been useful. And then give themselves a raise for thinking of it.
