If teachers—who in most states, require a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, National Teacher’s Exam (NTE) exam certification and a background check to get employed at the most basic level—aren’t “qualified” to carry handguns to protect the dozens of defenseless children, why should we arm the TSA gate agents who have much lower minimum standards, and who almost always have law enforcement nearby?
