While some like to pretend otherwise, the best way to stop some kind of deadly attack is to have someone there to shoot the attacker before they can get going. Uvalde would have looked very different if that had been the case. So would Parkland. The same for Oxford and Apalachee High Schools.
But a lot of people are uncomfortable with it. They’ve been conditioned to believe that guns lead to violence by a media that wants you to believe it, even though they know better.
