Isreals armed teachers. A some what true thing.

I see it online a lot. Israel arms teachers to keep kids safe, if the teachers at Newtown were armed those kids would have been saved if they would just fallow Israel. My answer to that is yes, and no. Yes I do believe in letting our teachers have ability to arm themselves to protect their students, but directly pointing out Israel is not the direct answer of proof. Let me explain.

Does Israel arm their teachers? Yes, and no. There was a time when it was required, but in recent years it's not. What people need to realize is that for a teacher to be allowed to have arms at a school they need to go through two years of military training. Also schools in Israel are gated. Not to mention that according to some research they more than often have armed guards then teachers. Even Israel has denied that all their teachers are packing heat. Its just an minority. Even Fox news posted a report saying it.

Despite that though Israel is in a constant amount of threat so they do have people protecting their children which I am in support of. Though Israel has gun control much on pare with much of Europe it seams I still think gun control is stupid. Really people just need to stop looking at all this stuff in black and white.

I do want to give my ideas of what I think should be done in this country as to arming teachers, but I mostly just wanted to point out the controversy that this country has about Israels armed teachers. They do have armed teachers, but not quite to the way we think, and armed guards are part of Israel schools, but lots of the information out there is black and white when we need to see the grey.

I am for armed teachers, but I think Ill give my ideas on that some other time. Though to be fair weather teachers are armed or not is having trained armed guards on schools a bad idea? Israel for sure does that.

Gun control apparently works unless your Swiss.

I used this as one of my sources in my report in one of my classes. I find it funny how people say that banning guns will prevent gun violence, yet Switzerland  allows their people to own fire arms just fine. In fact according to http://www.gunpolicy.org/ has marked  Switzerland as number three as number guns per 100 of populace. Number two is Yemen, and of course the United States is number one.

In fact  Switzerland has an outstanding militia instead of a military. So my question is if gun control works then how come  Switzerland has about as much gun violence as the United Kingdom. Feel free to check this out for yourself. I find Gun Policy to be a trusted site, and if you wont take that as proof then this report done by Time Magazine should support it enough.
