If we all suddenly woke woke up in 2018 to a dozen and a half mass shootings society would probably do something about it.
Its been a gradual increase over the last 40 years or so, so society has slowly become conditioned to it and while some are outraged others, particularly pro gun folk, don’t see a problem.
I also think that the more mass school shootings that happen, the propensity for them to happen increases. It sews the idea in a twisted mind that shooting up a load of school kids and teachers is a way to let go of internal angst and go down in a blaze of glory. I may not have worded that as well as I wanted so please don’t think I’m rationalising it as acceptable in any way shape or form.

My first thought is that this is a rubbish idea (although I can see that being able to take down a shooter before the police get there could well save lives).
If I was a teacher I’m not sure that I would want that kind of responsibility. And if I should get it wrong I can’t imagine having to explain to bereaved parents that I’d made a dreadful mistake.
Im sure there isn’t a simple answer but I feel the man who had $21m off the NRA in 2016 doesn’t have it.
If armed people at schools are the right solution - which I'm not sure they are, but I admit there may be limited alternatives in a country awash with guns - then it needs to be trained security officers, not teachers. Paid for by a direct tax on the gun industry.

If I didn't know better, it sounds like a soundbite reaction made public in a tweet, not that the Don ever does that...

Not only that, but every school shooter would then just aim for the teacher first, and everyone else afterwards.
See, it's simple. Don't worry about training teachers to use these guns they're all going to be carrying. Just make having the ability to blast a bad guy out of his fucking socks one of the primary criteria for recruiting them in the first place. There are too many commie pinkos in the teaching profession anyway.

BLAM.

They’ll probably be persecuted by everyone who then holds them responsible for loss of life that could have been prevented.
I’d also imagine the nightmare scenario for any teacher given that responsibility would be accidentally taking the life of an innocent while trying to protect the innocent. Not that I know from experience but I imagine things happen fast in a gun fight and it would take only one stray bullet in the wrong direction or through a stud wall to end an innocent life.
I wouldn’t want that responsibility on any level, thanks.

Yes, the USA being what it is, any armed survivors will be sued to hell!
Really it's none of my business what they do, their land is their land, but their two-faced culture as a country is despicable sometimes.
TBH I probably wouldn't have been that surprised though.
If anyone needs shooting it's their fucking stupid president.
