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"

If a teacher is in a room and has the gun pointed at the door after it has been announced or gun shots were heard, you think the shooter can come in, look around, locate the teacher, and shoot before the teacher shoots them?

They're also going to hide behind a desk or something while pointing the gun and the gunman is out in the open.

It's easy to talk about killing someone (especially if you've never done it). Quite another thing to actually do it. They're teachers...

Every teacher I've ever met would be willing to die for their students, so I think they'd be willing to kill someone trying to kill their students.

Color me intrigued. 

When did I say every teacher would be armed?

It would be a choice and every teacher I've ever met is prepared to die for their students, so I don't think some would mind carrying in order to save their students lives.

Also, if a shooter knows that there's multiple soldiers at a school, don't you think they'll be less-likely to even attempt to attack the school?
