Sad that you want to intentionally ignore facts. Its been working (and can work) in some situations:

Instead of calling names and disparaging people (you know like the bullies who end up pushing crazy gunmen over the edge) why not consider all of the facts?

Plenty of crazy cops.
Plenty of crazy Marines.
Etc.

Your point? Or should we disarm them?

Anyone against guns should never call the police. They have guns. You don't want that.

If crazy is determined by a professional mental health evaluation. Yeah disarm them WTF! I thought mental health was the real issue at hand and not the guns. Your comment is insinuating otherwise

Then the comment about teachers insinuates that all teachers are crazy.

Well you know the answer, more guns.


Now we need to arm the students so they can protect themselves from teachers.

Oh - this was awhile ago - I graduated in 1975 and had the one guy as my chemistry teacher in 11th grade.

And if everyone had a gun ... there are two outcomes. Everyone is dead or everyone behaves themselves.

Which is more likely?

That's it. And then the principal shows up.

The story is lacking information. How do they know the alleged gunshot came from that room? It does not say he had a gun on his person. It does not say he fired a weapon. It says principal heard a gunshot. Maybe he heard a car backfire and thought it was a gunshot.

Go back and read the article. It has zero info as to what happened. It's pathetic reporting and no conclusions can be drawn from it.
It was a gunshot.

"Frazier confirmed that at least one shot was fired after a principal used a key to try and get into the barricaded classroom. A bullet had gone through an exterior window of the room, but it didn't appear Davidson was aiming at any person, Frazier added."
