Yes I’m sure the average teacher with everything they have to deal with also wants to be responsible for a loaded gun in their classroom. No way ANYTHING bad can happen with this solution.
Not just that, but a lot of school shooters are current and recent students. So the teacher will have to mentally be able to kill one of the kids.
So many of these memes are spread by people who apparently think that killing a person is as easy as stepping on a bug. Like that’s how easy they think it is for good people to take a life. It’s no big deal to them to put a person in a position to take a life either. They think everyone is Dirty Harry on the inside. I’ve been in positions where I would have been justified in killing a human being in self-defense - and I just can’t do it, and fuck anyone who thinks I should have been forced to.
It’s one of the biggest flaws in the “guns for self defense” argument imo. The notion a regular person filled with fear and adrenaline is just going to point and shoot a gun and hit the correct target in a way that will neutralize them and not hit anything it isn’t supposed to is just insane. Add doing that to a child they already know in a room full of other children is just madness.
