That probably also plays a role, but it doesn't explain why mass shootings are less common in schools where teachers are armed compared to schools where teachers aren't armed.
(my bold)

Citation needed.

As we've seen, your opinions are rarely fact adjacent, let alone based on actual facts. Dodgy

ETA: You seem to be falling prey to the myth of "good guys with guns" who will allegedly stop bad guys with guns. They are a myth.

If that's not true, why it is that school shootings are far more common in California than in Texas (California being the state with the highest number of school shootings)? In Texas, teachers are usually armed. In California, teachers are almost never armed.
