From Mike McDaniel, who asks THE question about school shootings A sample but yes go read the whole thing
There is no other way, no law, no narrative, no cancelation, nothing that will save lives when deterrence and security measures have failed. Only willing, armed teachers and other school staff, and many of them, can serve as the last line of defense. Anyone denying this cold, hard reality is stupid, evil, both or a politician.
I’ll not discuss in this article, in any detail, other security measures such as more effective doors and locks, video systems, School Resource Officers, former military or police officers standing guard, single entry points, metal detectors and all the rest. This article is about the last resort, about when deterrence—and there is very little throughout the nation as this is written—fails, about when a killer is coming down the hallway where your 8 year-old daughter sits, unaware, in her classroom.
When that happens, and we know beyond any doubt it does, if, despite every other possible security measure, a killer is on his way to your daughter’s classroom, do you truly want her teacher—every teacher—to be disarmed, unable to have the opportunity to save the lives of their charges, to save their own life? Does the deterrence armed teachers uniquely provide truly mean nothing to you, or does deterrence simply not exist in your reality?
This article, gentle readers, is about the people that want every teacher, every adult, every American, to be disarmed.
Again, please go read it all
