'The GOP nominee for governor wouldn't arm teachers with books, funding, or resources to teach—just guns.'
Mastriano's suggestion would be pathetic if it weren't so dangerous.However, history proves him wrong.overwhelming majority of school shootings either involved armed police stationed at the school or police responding quickly thereafterLest we forget, there were police officers on both the campuses of Robb Elementary School in Texas and Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where shootings cumulatively took the lives of more than 30 students.
In fact, when researchers controlled for location and school characteristic factors,"the rate of deaths was 2.83 times greater in schools with an armed guard present."subject to cost benefit analysis from the people contemplating doing them. Would-be shooters do not expect to come out alive. They don't care if there is armed resistance or not. In fact, the presence of armed resistance only encourages them to bring deadlier weaponry—especially semi-automatic guns.
The few people who thought it was a good idea and said they would gladly bring a gun with them to school are nice people—but they're the last ones you'd want armed. Moreover, we have a school resource officer who said he was not in favor of the measure because it would make things tougher for law enforcement responding to a shooting. It would make it that much more unclear who the shooter was and increase the chances of friendly fire.
