For those who think arming teachers is the answer...

Let's not forget that Nadal Hassan shot 43 people, 13 fatally, at Fort
Hood, a facility filled with armed and trained people. Approximately 214
shots were fired (Hassan had another 177 rounds on him when captured).
He was attacked by three different soldiers, all of whom he shot. It was
not until a civilian police officer arrived some time later that Hassan
was shot and wounded. If the army can't stop a guy like this, how is a
kindergarten teacher supposed to?
A seasoned Police Officer who happens to be teaching a kindergarten
class. A person who is trained in tactical, conflict resolution,
firearms safety, shoot to kill, etc would have a better chance in a
building "he or she owned". Hey, maybe it wouldn't stop this guy or
that, but if it stopped one, don't you think it would be worth it. You
can give examples where it didn't work, I can give examples where it
would. All I am saying is that the best way to fight this type of think
is with multiple trained professionals on the scene, and if you are
going to do that, what better than ex-cops?
Either way, I didn't want to get political before but I would note that
I knew harry would hate this idea, imagine all the slackers working for
the union that would be replaced by good decent hard working, dependable
retirees? The Public Unions would be the biggest challenge to this, as
we all know it's not the kids they are really worried about...
Again, please answer, how is this seasoned tactical guy supposed to stop
an attack when all of Fort Hood Army couldn't?
I don't know, I am not a trained police officer... You act like everyone
at Ft. Hood was, and that is typically dishonest, it's why everyone
laughs at you...
