Well, someone would get in the way in Utah. Our teachers are allowed to be armed in the classroom if they have a concealed-carry permit.

Yes, your fantasies about the teacher taking out the shooter like a badass will prevent any deaths in that situation.

Right. Far better to provide a free-fire range for criminals and crazies instead of letting people have the means to possibly protect themselves.

Do I think that it will prevent all the deaths in a situation like that? No, of course not, because I do live in the real world where in a high-stress situation people (even trained police officers) do not always hit what they aim at. But it might prevent some.

How's that saying go? "If it saves one life..." Works both ways. If the teacher is going to put herself between the kids and an armed maniac (which they generally do in these situations, because they're kind of awesome like that and that's what they do), it'd be nice if she was more than a damn target.

Right. Far better to provide a free-fire range for criminals and crazies instead of letting people have the means to possibly protect themselves.

Or far better to work at keeping weapons that make it easy to kill dozens of people in seconds away from criminals and crazies instead of just leaving it up to the kindergarten teacher and her students to protect themselves.

How's that saying go? "If it saves one life..." Works both ways.

It also applies to the risk of being really free with all weapons or hypothetically putting guns in classrooms with kids. If the teacher gets killed trying to take down the guy wearing body armor lives are saved if he has to reload too.

Well, gee, if this administration would enforce the laws already on the damn books before they tried to pass more, maybe I'd trust them more. At this point, I trust them as far as I can throw my house.

http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2013/feb/03/mayors-against-illegal-guns/us-files-criminal-charges-fraction-gun-denial-case/

"In 2009, the FBI 'referred more than 71,000' cases of people failing background checks when trying to buy a gun to another federal agency, 'but U.S. attorneys ultimately prosecuted only 77 of them.'"

That is miserable and a horrible dereliction of duty. These people talk a good game, but when it comes to actually doing anything, they fall down on the job. Big time.

So you're agreeing that lack of gun control is a problem and that people have way too much access to deadly weapons. Because not enforcing gun control laws we have is a big complaints of pro-gun control people.
