again, I wasn’t talking about arming teachers, I was talking about having extremely and specially well trained police officers(or perhaps a whole new unit of law enforcement for guarding schools(I have to think of a good name for such)).
Still, a lot of the same questions apply. For example:
- Regardless, how do teachers [in this case, police officers] know who the good guy is, and who the bad guy is? How do we ensure there’s no friendly fire?
- What if the bad guy is surrounded by hostages? Are they expected to engage anyway?
- If Chris Kyle, a highly trained marksman, and good guy with a gun, was gunned down in a shooting range, surrounded by other good guys with guns… what makes you think an (at best) amateur marksman will fare better?
- What if having hundreds of guns in a single building is… bear with me now… not a great fucking idea? What if that building was filled with our children? Doesn’t that make it… an even worse fucking idea?
