There are reports of concealed weapon holders at the El Paso shooting. They did what they should have... not play Rambo/Hero. One helped children get out of harms way.
But dozens of people in these forums have stated that school teachers should be armed and tasked with killing mass shooters who enter their classroom, so the CCW holders can run for cover and it's only teachers who are supposed to play Rambo? I find this very confusing...
Well so much for the idea that's been shoved down our throats that the good guys with guns would save us from mass shooters huh? Odder yet is the idea that many people in these forums have pushed that we should arm kindergarten teachers and expect them to take out a shooter in their classroom but in reality 'good guys' cower with their guns and hope the police show up.
Most good guys with guns do not harbor fantasies of playing Rambo in the midst of a mass shooting.

So the difference between gun free zones and non gun free zones is negligible then.
In one people don't have guns to shoot back and in the other "responsible" people won't shoot back. Well, in practicality, what the hell is the difference?
I know a good guy with lots of guns who is a teacher. He actually could be Rambo. Former military. Gun range one a month. I suspect he is carrying most of the time.
He strongly opposes teachers being armed. Their duty is to get their students to safety, not play Rambo.
Without anything identifying him as a good guy, he is as likely to get shot as he is to shoot someone.
Have you accepted all the DWI deaths as collateral damage or are you ready to ban either cars or alcohol?
False narrative...
No one is expecting any regulations to be 100% effective in eliminating a behavior or crime. If a person suggests limiting guns in some manner it doesn't equate to banning. The solution is usually a gray middle rather than black or white. This argument process can be pretty much used to argue for anarchy.
If folks are all safer if everyone is armed, why are firearms prohibited at NRA-ILA Leadership Forum?

Seems like Trump would be safer if everyone was armed, him included.
