A few things.......
Many shooters go in thinking they will die. So i don't see it as a deterrent.
Do you understand how insane the concept that grade school teachers need tactical training?
Are you willing to increase your taxes not only for the training but for the danger pay these trained teacher soldiers would deserve?
The mind set that this and not good gun control is the solution IS THE CORE PROBLEM.
Nuff said
They wouldn't be trained soldiers, they would be peace officers. Why the danger pay? you only get danger pay when deployed. I hate guns, but like someone said it once, "I rather have one and not need it, than need it and not have one."
Gun control will do nothing, the killers will just take up a knife or rent a car like terrorist are doing now.
This is what I call insane and completely unacceptable:
