Trump’s big idea for curbing school shooting is arming teachers. Never mind a boatload of statistics that would suggest that it’s a bad idea, including my favorite one, that was reported by the NYPD, who reported that their own officers, when in a gun fight, only hit their intended target about 18% of the time. These are people who expected to be in situations where firing a weapon was a distinct possibility, and have trained far more than any teacher on how to react in such a high stress situation. 18% of the time. On Thursday, a High School Teacher and Reserve Police officer in Seaside, Ca had to apologize publicly for firing a gun in the classroom on accident. I don’t feel like I need to elaborate any further.
