Seems to me like you could have somewhere around 100 armed and certified teachers in a school and still no one goes through the door......

That’s a fair point. If cops have no legal obligation to protect people, why should we expect schoolteachers to do so?

We have waaay more restrictions on purchasing firearms that there was in the mid 1900s. But per capita these incidents have increased.
More of the same is not likely to work.
Time to try something else.

If guns made people safe America would have such abysmal crime rates. All this proves is that there aren't enough restrictions.

Yes, it will as opposed to what we know doesn't work. As seen above....

Oh it's something all right

Boru This is a really good point. I can't think of a reason.

Meanwhile, in the real world, most other developed nations have both more restrictions on guns and fewer gun deaths than the US.
And from what I've seen from your posts on this thread, your preferred "something else" seems to boil down to "hope someone well-trained, well-armed, and ready to kill just happens to be there to kill any killer." Which, to most of us, is the equivalent to "do nothing."

Gun nuts will insist "that would never work here" but can never real reason why.... other than reciting the right to bear arms as if that's an argument....
