Anyone who says "As a ____" has nothing useful to say following that. Witness: not a hint of an alternate idea offered, but boy, he sure is a hero...we should listen to what he has to say...TYFYS and all that.
I'll take even half trained adults with a weapon to shoot back to stop the rampage over letting it continue until the shooter runs out of ammo. Even if the good guys cause casualties, letting it go on will cause more. And if the bad guy knows there will be incoming fire, he might just decide it's not worth it.
Is it a great idea? No. But I've not yet heard a better one. The only thing being offered is more totally ineffective legislation
Hey, why stop at the teachers? Let's give every student a gun as soon as they enter school. Also all the employees.Nothing can go wrong with that, can it? The more people who have guns, the better!
