Question on the "training" part. A guy who was trained, and his full time job was to literally lie in wait till a moment came like this to act, sat frozen outside for the most crucial 4 minutes of the attack.
However, 42-year-old Ms. Weathers who's had a fucking shit-show of disappointments her whole life and now lives on a measly teachers wage is now going to, with some training, become an effective commando.
Yeah. Solid logic
EDIT: I can't keep up with responding to the comments. But I would like to say it's been wonderful to see people engaging with logical arguments rather than spewing abuse and hate.
I guess I'd blanket my point of view with one final note - The USA will not have this problem 10 years down the line, and it'll either be because almost everyone is armed, or almost noone is. The road you choose today decides which of those two future generations will grow up in. Choose wisely.

In Florida (based on a Google search): Police Officers earn a median salary of $55,050 while certified teachers earn around $45,723.
So hopefully we can start training the police to teach while the teachers respond to active shooters because they're already getting paid more.

Just make sure to cut their pay until they become unhinged. Then we arm the janitors to protect against the teachers.
