America has spoken:
A new poll conducted by The Trafalgar Group in partnership with Convention of States Action (COSA) shows that a majority of 2022 likely voters support having properly trained, armed teachers in schools. The poll was conducted in the aftermath of a mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, in which 21 victims, including 19 children, died.
...According to the data, 57.5% of respondents said that preventing properly trained teachers from carrying firearms in schools makes schools somewhat or much more dangerous. Just 30.8% said the opposite.
"Just 30.8% said the opposite."
That's not even a full one-third!
The breakdowns by political affiliation and age group are even more striking:
Among all political breakdowns, arming properly trained teachers was the most popular position. Republicans voiced the largest amount of support for armed educators, with 67.5% saying it would make schools more safe versus 19.4% saying the opposite. A plurality of Democrats agreed, with 48.2% telling pollsters that armed and trained teachers made schools less dangerous versus 41.3%.
Democrats have spent a few decades trying to browbeat their base into believing guns are these evil, hateful things, and still they can only just barely hold off a full majority of their own voters wanting more guns in society.
Meanwhile:
Among age groups, the youngest cohort of 18-24 year olds voiced the most support for arming properly trained teachers. Nearly 62% said preventing teachers from having firearms made schools much more dangerous versus 21% who said such a policy made schools somewhat less dangerous.
Let's see the baddies stop a legion of Kindergarten Cops that are properly trained and prepared to protect our kids!
