re: #203 Interesting Times

What do you think of this line of argument?

I understand the concern, but it has to be dealt with, because there are plenty of people who think it can be done or who wonder if it can be done. If you try to answer “What if we armed teachers?” with “BAN ASSUALT WEAPONS” you’re not going to convince them. The answer is “Arming teachers will not solve it, because armed faculty will not deter a shooter since there was an armed guard at the school. And there are a whole host of issues associated with teachers being armed. The only good solution is to return to when assault weapons were banned.”
