I agree 100% with all of this video. But I also think there is a scenario where a teacher having a gun would be very helpful. In particular all of those teachers hiding in class rooms with their students would have been well served firing a couple rounds through the door as a way to discourage the shooter from coming in their classroom. Yeah it puts others at risk of getting a random bullet. Of course there are risks in arming half a million teachers in general. But its got to be a helpless feeling knowing your room is next or in line or knowing the shooter is at your door. In no way would I expect a teacher to kill a shooter, but maybe it could work as a way to get some warning shots in your defense.
The video only shows one scenario, the ambush or surprise attack. After 5 minutes of shooting I would assume most people not in the first few classrooms would have their wits reclaimed enough to at least draw, load, point and decide if there's a prudent shot to take.
