Maybe too much of a generalization about motives and self preservation


Comes across a bit like you slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night and really studied this. :>) But I think you are correct in some cases anyway.

And I think the best long term move is to get rid of most guns. I also do not think armed teachers will deter many people. Very visible armed guards with comparable weaponry to the shooters might, if we want to go there.
