The utter stupidity of making schools "armed camps."
 

1. If we place a gun in the office, ready to a principal’s hand (or to
the hand of some other school defender), as some absolutists are now
suggesting, what happens if the heavily armed intruder shoots his way in
through a different doorway?

2. What if two maniacal killers are involved? Then one defender isn’t
enough (See: Columbine, 1999).

3. If the psychopath has a semi-automatic weapon clearly the defender
will require (at minimum) a semi-automatic weapon. How exactly does this
gun vs. gun strategy play out if the attack occurs at the start of the
school day, or during a class change, when halls are crowded with
children? How many bullets do the absolutists want to see flying around
our schools?

4. How do we protect kids on a playground during recess if a psycho
shows up and starts spraying fire? (That’s already been done. See:
Stockton, 1989)

5. What if the psycho lurks by the roadside and waits in the morning
until a bus loaded with children passes by? What if he opens fire at
that them? (Same idea: end of the day.)

6. What if the killer forces his way in through the kitchen and into the
cafeteria at lunch? (Arm cooks with guns? At least they already have
knives.)

7. How do we defend if the perpetrator calls in a fake bomb threat and
the children empty out onto the lawn; and then he arrives to start shooting?

8. What do we do if the psycho pulls up in a car in front of any school,
which is exactly what happened at Sandy Hook, and jumps out and starts
shooting as students enter some morning? (Same idea, exiting: afternoon.)

9. What if the perpetrator parks his car, walks up to just about any
first floor classroom in America and starts firing through windows?

10. Suppose a killer approaches a high school soccer field during the
first period of a tie game and starts blasting? (Same idea: track meet,
softball game, tennis match, marching band or cheer leading practice.)

AND LET’S NOT FORGET PSYCHO PLAN B: What if the killer can’t get into
the school. What if he heads for a college campus, a theater, a Sikh
temple or mall in frustration? (We do know that’s been done, do we not?)
