Original Message For those posters he keep saying arm everybody have clearly not been using their grey matter.

who is going to train these teachers? how much training will these teachers get? you can't just hand somebody a gun and expect them to be a crack special ops commando do you? not to mention the psychological problems with people who are not constantly drilled to be crack soldiers.

Here is some food for thought from Dave Grossman who is an expert on violence and the psychology of killing.

Excerpt from the page.

One major modern revelation in the field of military psychology is the observation that such resistance to killing one's own species is also a key factor in human combat.*Brig. Gen. S. L. A. Marshall first observed this during his work as an official U.S. Army historian in the Pacific and European theaters of operations in World War II. Based on his post-combat interviews, Marshall concluded in his book Men Against Fire (1946, 1978) that only 15 to 20 percent of the individual riflemen in World War II fired their own weapons at an exposed enemy soldier.

So these guys were trained for war, though still citizen soldiers. So you can surmise a teacher in this situation would fair worse with limited training
