[split] What is next for the United States? [GUNS]

No It's not a deterrence AT THAT POINT where the little monster is shooting at people. At that point -- having the fastest response possible with deadly force is the best response -- and this is the tactic that a majority of police agencies are now employing.

But they have to travel to get there.

The teachers are already there. And THEY CAN BE TRAINED. Perfect? No. Better in my opinion than cowering and waiting for minutes while the carnage ensues.

Where an armed teacher IS a deterrent is before the shooting. A coward is more likely to attack if he knows all of his potential victims are unarmed. Cowards LOVE those " gun free" signs...

If a school has a policy of armed teachers, and the students know that some of the teachers are armed, and this is a deterrent before the shooting, why did your little monster jump out and start shooting in the first place?  Why wasn't he deterred?

Because most mass shooters don't care if they die. I also point out some people who have been stopped from mass shooting or have written stuff before their rampage . An armed opposition is part of their sick fantasy.
