(6,635 posts)incident is a perfect example of why your NRA "talking point" logic that "the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun" is total bullshit. If Hinckley had been using an AR-15 instead of a pistol, the odds are that all of those armed "good guys" AND Reagan would have been killed.
Arming teachers, or posting armed guards at schools, is just a way of providing more targets for an armed lunatic to shoot at. The REAL answer is to take assault-type rapid fire weapons off the streets, and for the USA to join the rest of the civilized world by enacting civilized gun control laws.
Since most of the NRA/Gungeon crowd only focus on the last part of the sentence, I'd just like to remind you of the wording of the first part of the 2nd Amendment: "a well regulated militia" -- and not "a well armed militia."
