Will never make any sense

More guns added to a volatile situation will get more people killed. That's it. That's all that will happen.

Not shocked

I'll never forget the NRA trying to be like 'Why weren't more people armed' at the AURORA MOVIE THEATER SHOOTING. Are you effing kidding me???

What the actual ****

Do you think the average person is going to respond like a Navy Seal??? Or are they going to shoot some random innocent person? MORE BULLETS WILL NEVER BE GOOD.

No they won't

Arming teachers is also an appallingly bad idea on every single front and is opposed by literally every teacher I know.

It seriously is

I can think of so many ways for it to go badly. Kids could get the guns. Teachers could end up shooting students they're frightened of, more likely students of color.

Yep, can't get why anyone would think it's a good idea

And again, teachers are not SWAT? Like, how can they be expected to know how to react WITH A GUN in an active shooter situation?

No idea

I have NO faith in myself in that situation. I am not a trained assassin. I could easily kill an innocent person.

I have also never felt like I needed a gun, honestly. My taser and pepper spray are security enough. And I am baffled by those people who just start shooting the moment someone steps into their backyard. Someone was going through my yard once, and yes, it's possible he meant to break in, but I turned on the back light and he went flying and jumped the fence. Like...that's it. I turned on a light, and it was fine.

Wow, some people definitely would have shot him
