Yeh  I heard that on the local news the other day, I am a couple of hours away from them. Pa, has relaxed gun laws. But overall I think the idea is rather stupid

It isn't great, but I would rather have a rock than an eraser.

kind of a good point rockerslinger....at first i thought it was silly, but after consideration i have two points to bring up for discussion.  first being: 

supposed they did have slings and rocks....sure a gun man would kill some, but in a school of hundreds or thousands of kids and teachers, 15 or 20 slinging rocks simultaneously could be a damper for the guy's good time...but it would require training, not just in rock throwing/slinging but in coordinating the return strike, i.e. military tactics.

secondly though and this is the one i've been ponder the hardest since giving this consideration....even if in practicality it turned out to be a stupid idea for providing safety, in theory and in the immediate, perhaps it does something as equally important...giving the students some sense of self empowerment and a feeling of confidence to be able to defend themselves, thus making them at least feel safer in a place that probably is safe, but granting to them some level of reassurance..idk how it is in the rest of the world, but a lot of american kids are afraid to go to school these days. a real life and death fear.  the press is much to blame for the sensationalism, but nonetheless if/when the danger does appear it is real and bad.  so to me, just having something like that, to where the anxiety of being nothing but a target has a feeling of relief for one's own defense...imo, that makes it not such a bad idea in the current environment.  and allow kids to focus on study, fear a failing grade...instead of the other.  just my opinion.

When this story aired locally,  they interviewed some students at the
high school.  All of them said, they wouldn't even think of picking up a rock in that kind of situation.  Personally I am in favor of higher up school administration having firearms. Like principals and vice principals. They would have training of course, inmy opinion,  most trusted there, and have more to lose in that type of situation. (  My high school had 2 vice principals.  So that would have been 3 people for example.)  Not the teachers.  I don't trust them. Every other day, there is a mental case caught sleeping with an under age student it seems like.

Strangely, here in Texas, they couldn't legally give teachers baseball bats as weapons, because it's illegal to carry a club unless you are a police officer or a licensed security guard... Of course, the Texas legislature just made it 100% legal for the average citizen to walk down the street with a samurai sword if they so please, so I'm not sure why clubs are such a danger to society.  It's really much ado about nothing anyway, because almost everyone owns a gun.

Rocks wouldn't really do.much, except to piss off the shooter.  Plus all these millenials don't know how to throw rocks,  and might hurt themselves, attempting to do something that generations before them, have no problem doing.
