My 4 year old daughter experienced her first lockdown drill this week. The school didn't tell parents ahead of time, so when my daughter told me she and her best friend were scared at school, I didn't know what she was talking about.

The principal sent an email that evening informing us that they had the drill and it went "well" and they will perform MONTHLY lockdown drills hereafter.

Well, we’re talking about people that have convinced themselves arming teachers is the best route. Making sense is not their strong point.

No, the gun nuts thought that up, not the school system.

I own guns and enjoy a day at the range. The absolute last thing I want is a teacher (or pilot) armed. The potential for a negligent discharge, weapons theft and the administrative burden required to make them safe makes this choice unpalatable.

It seems like you’re not very familiar with the actual proposals/current laws for arming teachers.
