The media and others are already reacting predictably, given their proclivity to blame things, not people. Sad. Irrational. Dangerous.
Here's an interesting fact: Aside from the murderer, there were dozens of heavily armed people at the school, surrounded by kids, parents, and teachers. Not one of these other heavily armed people shot at a child or anybody. Of course I'm talking about the police. Any of whom could have added to the horror by opening fire on innocent people, but didn't. Why? Because guns aren't the problem. Evil doers are the problem. Evil people are, and will always be, the problem.
Don't let the biased media and the liberal hysteria paint you as evil.
If society decided that too many men raped women, and so decreed that all men would be castrated ("if it saves just one victim"), would you go along with that? Fight the good fight.
Had the murderer been aware that teachers are usually armed, he most likely wouldn't have even tried to do what he did. Had the teachers been armed, he would have been stopped LONG before he did stop. Preventing teachers from defending themselves and their classes is LUNACY. They already have the trust of parents, each and every school-day.
It's like watching commercial pilots go through the TSA security screening. I observed TSA debating whether the co-pilot of a UAL flight from Frankfurt to San Francisco should be allowed to carry her nail file on board. This (female) co-pilot would at some point have control of the plane, and could simply steer it into the ground. But TSA was concerned about her nail file.
Lunacy. Fight the lunatics. Stand up for yourselves.
