Genuinely curious, so I hope I don't come off as condescending because I don't mean to at all: The general argument I hear about school shootings from those who are very strongly pro-guns is to arm the teachers/principal and possibly allow students to carry firearms as well. I don't know if this is your thought as well, but I AM curious as to why this thought pervades folks who heavily support the Second Amendment.
On the surface it makes some degree of sense; you can shoot back. However, if you were at a school/mall/public forum/whatever and a shooting broke out and everyone started shooting back, how would you know who was on whose side? How would you know the enemy?

Just wondering.
