Making It Impossible

The cops mostly spend about 110 hours on gun training for their officers. that’s a lot, isn’t it? Do they really need that much training? Probably, but they don’t get it, and they do okay, mostly, while they daily risk some illegally-armed fool shooting at them. The logical answer to school shootings, of course, is to allow teachers and other staff who have carry permits and significant training to bring their guns to school so they could stop a shooter from killing their students, since they are THERE, while the cops will take some time to arrive, while the shooter is killing children. Apparently the school administrators in suburban Cincinnati, Ohio, don’t think so, so they’re putting insurmountable roadblocks in the way of teachers and staff who could save a lot of lives, with a required 728 HOURS of intense training to qualify. This is an excellent example of the short-sightedness of school administrators all over. They think ONE uniformed “Resource officer” is enough, while potential shooters routinely “take him out first” before their shooting spree because he’s so easily identified and “dealt with” first. That shooter cannot know which teachers are armed, and that limits his choices to maybe NOT killing a bunch of people’s children. (Mom-At-Arms)
