I don't know whether there are any figures for "gun ownership by profession in the USA" floating around but I would hazard a guess that "teachers" would figure at the lower end of any such chart.
In terms of gun control advocates they would probably figure prominently and most would vote or favour Democrat candidates.
They wouldn't want guns.
The NRA logic is so flawed. Giving School Teachers guns should work well until a crazed teacher shoots all the kids dead on a hateful Monday!
They think people doing the shootings are "The Bad People" that can be identified and weeded out of gun ownership by some multiple choice questions. Most of the shooters though are just Joe Average who lost their crap for some otherwise unknown reason.
The FBI and NSA can find the real crazy people so easily, most of them are on the TV or speaking at NRA rallies! But they are not the ones doing the shooting.
I'm not anti-gun, in fact in years gone by I was a sporting shooter which I gave up when I had kids. Kids and guns in the house do not mix. But there is no natural need or right that states people need assault rifles or concealable semi-automatic pistols.
The rights the NRA refer to are not God given, they are man made! When an NRA nutter stands up and states it's his God given right to own a weapon, he's technically blaspheming!
America is quickly becoming the worlds most powerful moron! They've got the bomb, as the keep reminding us, but even that they got it with the help of a bunch of communist double agents! ;D
