On armed teachers and guns in schools...

[Recursion]

9. This is like worrying about lightning and ignoring traffic accidents

We can speculate about mass shooting scenarios and what would and wouldn't stop them until we're blue in the face, and we're still missing the significantly worse problem of one student shooting another student over a personal or group conflict. Teachers and police should be involved in that, but whether they are armed is neither here nor there; it's about outreach and intervention.

Any gun in a school is a net safety risk, but not really enough of one to freak out about, but either way it distracts us from the fact that people randomly shooting up classrooms isn't the actual problem with 99.99% of school violence.
