Then you'd better keep armed police on site 24/7, because waiting for them to arrive costs lives.

I completely agree and I personally grew up with an armed officer at my school throughout every year. My main issue with arming teachers is that teaching is their job, not protection (though they should try to protect the kids if they can). I'd feel better with someone who's trained and professional being in charge of protecting our kids rather than Ms. Brown who's never held a damn gun in her life.

fuck them

I mean, it kinda directly contradicts the idea you're supposing, which is that more gun prevalence would bring about less gun violence... but yeah just ignore that part and carry on I guess.

I think moral authoritarians who want to micromanage the affairs of others are the biggest cause of violence in our time.

Yes, that is a very huge issue as well and I agree with you on this. I don't think denying teachers the right to bring a loaded firearm to school is being authoritarian, though.

You can't have that because the mainstream media insists on framing it as a Second Amendment issue. Gee, wonder why they'd do that?

Cause that's what gets people angry and tuned in. Who wants that boring old "No more dead children" stuff when we can keep that juicy news flowing! Just think about how much money you can make off of exploiting dead children, man! You don't wanna give all that up do you?
