“The only thing that will stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”
This was what @onesoldiersmom tweeted in response to the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, near Miami, on 14th February.
The only thing that will stop a bad guy with gun is a good guy with a gun. #ArmTheTeachers

It’s certainly an intriguing idea. A very tempting solution, since gun control is so strongly resisted in the United States, which has just seen its 18th school shooting in 2018 – and it’s only February.
Despite the carnage, nothing looks set to change. The current POTUS won’t even mention the word “gun” in his statement to the country about the massacre.

Arming teachers/schools is going to sell a hell of a lot more guns .. well played NRA, well played.
Using american police stats, only one in 3 shots hit their target. Is that what you want in a school? That's with trained officers.
