Interesting that the 'good guys with a gun' don't always rise to the occasion to stop the bad guy with a gun. The school resource officer who refused to go inside Parklands school to confront the killer is going for trial as a result of his cowardice. Now, it looks like police who attended the school shooting in Texas also refused to go in soon after the incident started despite being called out by bystanders. Apparently, some bystanders discussed taking action when the police didn't:
Texas Shooting Onlookers Say Police Were 'Unprepared,' Didn't Go Into School, Huffpost.
If the Republicans want to argue that arming everyone will help stop killers running amok, it would be useful if armed police showed they had the guts to intervene occasionally. But of course teachers will turn into Rambo if they're required to carry guns at school. They're paid so much to teach that it's only fair to expect them to exhibit more courage than trained police.
