When you have 6 year olds shooting people, the only answer is gun control. A 6 year old is not a rational actor. You don't stop a 6 year old from shooting someone through increased punishment or a "good guy with a gun." You only stop it by preventing the gun from ever reaching that child's hands. https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/06/us/newport-news-virginia-shooting/index.html
@gregpak This happened an hour from us. It's so absolutely horrifying and yet there are people calling for us to arm teachers.
My husband (a teacher) and I have discussed what might have happened had the teacher been armed... nothing good.
Gun control is the ONLY rational choice here.
Matt's already said the moment they arm teachers is the moment he leaves the profession. No way. No how.
