This however is knowable; there is a specific list of faculty and staff at the school. WHICH person would have had the shooting skill and temperament to take on the shooter?

It accomplishes so many of their long time goals like.... control of content, eliminating the teacher's union and the need for teachers at all, and it keeps the " little woman" at home where she belongs.

(11,885 posts)A teacher armed with a pistol going against a AR style weapon with a massive amount of bullets in a huge clip? Coming from someone to much of a coward to fight in a war and use a gun when he had the chance. Your suggestion is not only bad, its idiotic, and shows you're dysfunction is dangerous, and deceptive. What next, a bigger bonus for the kills.
