You really just think we’re gonna follow the most extremely stupid path so your “guns r bad” rhetoric makes sense. FFS, have some respect for what you’re arguing against.
I mean, we are talking about arming the teaching staff with firearms, rather than having a trained guard who signed up for the task, or addressing the root problems. You’re asking them to either shoot their own students, or other students at the same school. This is not an expected outcome for someone who wants to go into education or stay there because they care for the kids, nor is it starting from a sane position to begin with.
Its a school, not a military barracks in a war zone.
Hey that’s actually a pretty fair point. I get so used to hearing people bring up terrible strategy failures that I didn’t even consider that maybe the people who wanna be teachers aren’t really the same people for handling that emotionally. I always imagined it as teachers being trained and having their firearms secured in lock boxes at all times which makes sense tactically, but they likely wouldn’t be prepared if it’s a student they know that they have to confront.
