TR and all
Lest you start to think I am a bleeding heart liberal or anti-second amendment.
I will concede to all that a properly trained teacher with a weapon in certain scenarios could prevent a school shooting. I agree this would be a quick and relatively economical approach to bolstering school security in the short term. And, yes I know many teachers that would be willing, capable and up to the challenge.
However, I am not convinced that is a feasible solution for numerous reasons. For example, in my town I would expect overwhelming resistance to the idea from teachers unions, school boards and parents (and I live in a bright red region of a red state). Blue states wouldn’t stand a chance.
Furthermore, I am not the least bit convinced arming and training a select group of teachers could ever provide an adequate level of security to handle the real threat for which we should be preparing.
