yup, 10 minutes later when a good guy with a gun shows up. According to the FBI though over 3% of active shooting incidents were stopped by armed citizens, which does not sound like much unless you consider that probably fewer than 1% of people carry on a regular basis and that they are barred from doing so in the places where most of these incidents occur, gun free zones. It makes the solution obvious, get rid of gun free zones and encourage more people to carry everywhere they go.
Right, most shootings just happen suddenly and won't be stopped by anyone including law enforcement, that's just the nature of it, that they're over quick. And the mass murder situations that could be stopped, like you said, will be done at gun free zones where people necessarily aren't carrying.
but at the end of the day of course you want people in your school to be armed if there's a shooter on the loose
I don't really even see the downside or the argument against it lol. "These school shootings are out of control, think about the kids // yes, the school should be forced by law to not arm itself"
I guess if they conceded this then they're conceding that disarming people isn't the way to make us safe.
Nutcases causing kids to die over their warped political views.
Haha yup! I actually didn't understand what @authorfriendly meant and just ignored it. Now I see.
Ya, I don't get the thinking.. "oh no, they can defend themselves"
And of course, it's much less likely for the shooting to ever start when criminals know that the school isn't forced to be defenseless.
Right now, you often will end up with "a shootout at the school" anyways, it just happens after dozens have been killed when the cops show up.

while the drug companies whose products cause a lot of these shootings, who sponsor the news and politicians, get no bad press, as usual.

Cops stays outside during shooting while kids die.
Good thing we didn't have "a shootout in the school", right??? ::rolls eyes::
