I wouldn’t be so sure. Most people are not smart. I’m European, so I’ll never understand this, and I won’t argue because why would I, but I don’t see how some here don’t see that arming teachers and whatnot would only lead to wild-west style shootouts in places where you don’t want them. |
Sure some people in that group aren't that smart, but if people used their own faculties rather than "follow orders" a few of them would have initiated the process of breaking down the door. Police intentionally turn off their own reasoning skills and act as automatons to be ordered.
I personally don't think teachers should be forced to carry guns. Having said that, it isn't impossible for there to be an effective arming of teachers. If I recall correctly, Israel has done this as a counter-terrorism measure. Albeit all Israelis are conscripted into the military for two years and there are other very different cultural and political differences from the U.S. Edit: I just fact checked this, and found out that this is a myth. Israel has armed security guards, but not armed teachers.
