(Anonymous) 2013-04-05 04:27 am (UTC)(link)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.

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.

"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.
