That could have been very tragic.

How the hell did he make it TO school without being noticed.

Maybe it was a Krinkov

Along those lines, it was probably a 20 gauge shotgun..... since CNN was doing the reporting, who knows what the weapon was.

Even with all of the latest shootings, it doesn't appear that school staff take notice to the comings and goings of anyone entering school campuses. An AK47 under a coat could look like a trombone case on "Music Day" at school. What are they waiting for?!?!?!?!?!?!

Let's say it's a Krinkov-style short barrel with a folding stock. With all of the other school shootings, how do you miss this:

A 13-year-old student wearing a mask and a long, black trench coat fired an AK-47 into the ceiling at his school Monday morning

Early morning October chill in the air.

Rep. Lasee: To Introduce Bill To Allow School Personnel To Carry Weapons
10/4/2006


Contact Rep. Frank Lasee: 1-(608) 266-9870

In Wake of School Shootings Lawmaker Says All Options Should Be on the Table to Prevent School Violence
Madison?Following three violent school shooting that struck the nation in the past two weeks, including one in a small rural town in Wisconsin, State Representative Frank Lasee (R-Bellevue) announced his plans to introduce legislation that will allow teachers, principals, administrators, and other school personnel to carry concealed weapons. The lawmaker said that while his idea may not be politically correct, it has worked effectively in other countries.
?To make our schools safe for our students to learn all options should be on the table,? said Lasee. ?Israel and Thailand have well trained teachers carrying weapons and keeping their children safe from harm. It can work in Wisconsin.?
Israeli teachers and parent volunteers have been carrying concealed weapons in their classrooms for twenty five years. Before teachers armed themselves, schools in the West Bank and Gaza Strip had been repeatedly attacked by Palestinian terrorists. Hundreds of children were killed. Not one child has been harmed by gunfire in an Israeli school since. Thailand followed Israel?s lead and allowed their teachers to carry guns for protection after their schools were targeted by Muslim extremists. The results have been the same ? less violence and a safer learning environment for their children. In both countries several terrorist attacks have been prevented by anonymous well trained teachers who carry concealed weapons.
?The element of surprise is a powerful tool,? added Lasee. ?In Israel and Thailand several lives have been saved because criminals don?t want to attack schools where well-trained marksmen and women may return fire.?
Lasee said he wants to bring this proven program to Wisconsin. Lasee?s bill will NOT require all teachers and school personnel to carry weapons. It will simply give them the option. The proposal will require stringent training both on the range and in the classroom for any school employee who wants to carry concealed.
?We have a duty to protect our children,? said Lasee. ?If we truly want to make our schools safe havens for learning, we should give our teachers and school employees access to the tools and training they need to protect our kids from harm.?
The lawmaker said he will offer the bill for co-sponsorship when the state legislature reconvenes early next year.

At the risk of being inappropriate ...

Teacher's Lounge: Hollowpoints are for wooses. Real teachers use hardball.

Principal's office: Is that a pistol in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Orientation: Anyone caught cheating will receive a week of detention. Second offenders will get a cap in their ass.

Recess: Can you stand guard for me? I have got to get to a restroom.

4th period: I've got a bucketful of brass waiting for you to polish in detention, young man.

Holidays: Merry Christmas teacher ... I got you a speedloader.

Field Day: Forgot your starting pistol? Here, borrow mine.

Finals: This is a timed test. When the barrel goes up, I want all pencils down.

This idea kind of weirds me out. Though so long as our current "Governor" is in place there is no way it would ever happen. He wont even let the citizens carry guns, let alone school teachers. Either way I feel that Mr. Lasee is trying to equate issues that occur in other parts of the world for very different reasons. The reason school faculty members are armed in Israel is to PROTECT the children from outside extremists, not to protect themselves from threats within the school itself. This idea will ride of in the sunset real quick with Doyal in office. But, if Mark Green the Republican incumbent get elected (and he'd better), we'll see what he does with this.
