 Arming staff while hardening the environment does not secure it by definition.  Someone can still compromise the environment but armed teachers could reduce the timeframe of compromise.

 As discussed multiple times here, implementation is a large part of the problem.  Staff selection, funding, legal protections, training are all part of the problem.

 In most if not all places a school board can not just say "arm the teachers" then put out a bin of Glocks and ammunition and solve school shootings the next day.

"So, talk to me like I'm an idiot some more. "

 I don't have an opinion of you.

 To clarify:  You said "It's simple to secure a place."

 Simple.  I have an opinion that "simple" and "complex" are two different things.  My opinion, that I have, is that it is not simple to secure a place because of the complexities listed below.

 My opinion is the following:

Arming staff while hardening the environment does not secure it by definition.  Someone can still compromise the environment but armed teachers could reduce the timeframe of compromise.  I do not think this opinion of securing reflects or represents on the intellectual capacity of any member if their opinion is different.

 I have an opinion regarding this based off of past discussion, my opinion is as follows:

As discussed multiple times here, implementation is a large part of the problem.  Staff selection, funding, legal protections, training are all part of the problem.  This opinion is not intended to reflect upon or represent the intellectual capacity of any member.

 I have a final opinion and conclusion:

In most if not all places a school board can not just say "arm the teachers" then put out a bin of Glocks and ammunition and solve school shootings the next day.  This conclusion is not intended to reflect upon or represent the intellectual capacity of any member.



"It straight up pisses me off for you to act like I don't know laws will need to be changed."

 I never said that, you did.  I do not feel that changing laws is "simple", this is my opinion of the definition of "simple" and how it applies to the process of creating law.  

This is not an opinion of you.  
I
do
not
have a valuation of you as a person.

I agree, I look forward to national reciprocity.  

Best regards,

In Chicago, 956 people have been shot this year. That is 116 fewer than 2018.

But things are looking up, over a hundred less shot than last year at this time.  Before you know it your gun laws might actually have the perception they are working.


Best regards,

Chicago is no different than any major metropolitan US city, including my city of St Louis. Gang bangers kill each other daily. Those calling for more gun laws are afraid to focus on the "who and what" causes for those stats. They don't really care about those lives, its not like they know or interact with them. It's just a stick to slap the political hockey puck around with.
