I have two kids in public school. Every day when we send them out we worry if we see them back in the evening or not. I am not trying to be dramatic.
They have active shooter drills every month!

We have fire drills. Different hazards. They can both be easily prevented. If all parents feel the same way (surely, no parent sends their kid to school hoping they never see them again) - why has nothing changed after so many lives cut short?
Because the other 50% of the parents thinks we must arm the teachers and that will solve the problem! :)
Arming teachers.... yeah, that's a good idea. What's next...arming kids themselves?
Perhaps the answer is more holistic, and not generating a nation-state where people get the impression that firearms are the only solution to their problems.
You joke.
But arming kids is already talked about a lot in Texas and Oklahoma, two states I am intimately familiar with. Most of the summer camps in Texas does have an active and popular shooting program here is Texas. Some of it is gun safety but most of it is just shooting.
Kids love to shoot! I am not kidding
