Either way, it was only three staff members or teachers, so were they anywhere near the shooter that they could have done anything?
If a teacher was armed that was near the students or staff killed, would the shooter have been able to kill anyone, much-less six people?
The only way to stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun.
If more teachers or more staff were armed, would any innocent people have died?
Edit: I just saw where it's unclear if the people that had guns were even on school grounds at the time of the shooting.
Yes, people would have died....the teachers with their pistols would have been mowed down by the AR-15. Uvalde cops didn't go in when they should have because they were outgunned.
We have millions of so-called good guys with guns...guess what the bad guys are still killing people. More guns=more violence. We have more guns in the hands of civilians than any other country in the world...and we are among the most violent which is the opposite of what your "good guy with gun" theory should show. Back in the wild west days, Dodge City, Kansas finally ended the killings in their streets by banning guns. It worked.
The Buffalo supermarket had an armed guard. He was the first to die. Tree of Life Synagogue had an armed guard. He was the first to die.
The potential of being killed doesn't stop these mass killers. They go into it expected to die
Sooner than later common sense should prevail. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry have 40 and 50 guns walking armed down the streets is NOT a "well-regulated militia"
