As previously noted, the only time there is talk about doing something is when there is a bunch a dead kids shot dead by a white teenage boy who has access to weapons.
School is about to start throughout the country, which means its open season for kid hunting over the course of the next 9 months.
Prediction: 2018-2019 will set a new record for school deaths ,new record number for school shootings, and a new record of number of deaths in a single school shooting. NRA will double down by promoting new laws that require teachers to carry loaded weapons while on school grounds. Teachers not carrying a weapon will be subject to being fired for not having required equipment.
Question: Can't a taser or mace be a better option?
Teachers with guns are not a logical thought out proposal.
I have given a lot of thought to face to face confrontations with guns involving a criminal and a non criminal. The prime motive of the criminal is to cause injury and death. The motivation of the peacekeeper is to avoid violence. I believe most people would not take the life of the criminal in a way that would stop a tragedy. In the instant that a teacher might try to negotiate or transpose the person in front of them into a monster they probably would be murdered. Consideration of where the bullet might go, unintentional consequences, might be enough time to allow the perpetrator to murder the teacher.
