    There's a wall to get behind, if the shooter is outside the room.

    Assuming they have guns at home or on the streets to begin with.

    Since the vast majority of those murders happen in your democratic bastions of love and happiness why haven't you stopped them?

    Where I live practically everyone is armed. Many openly. Our murder rate is less than half the national average.

    That's because he's running all over the world. How about if I say "John Wick" then? Or Jack Bauer? Or John McClain? Or Rambo?

    There are no countries with zero murders, but there are countries that don't have mass school shootings, certainly not like we do here.

    The walls and doors in schools aren't going to stop a bullet. Some of the people killed in Parkland were shot through doors and walls.

    Or want to learn how to protect their own lives and the lives of the children in their classes.

    That's an increase from the year before.

    So while the NRA has you high-fiving each other over this incident in Maryland, real people are dying by the scores every day.

    The NRA would rather 15,000 people die every year than have gun sales negatively impacted. That's why they are blowing smoke up your collective asses about arming school teachers, which would do NOTHING about the larger problem.

    Not even walls of concrete or anything bullets can't penetrate easily?

    That's called doing something thats actually effective on the problem, unlike the gun free zone idea.

    Kids whose only exposure to guns are tv lead to death when they encounter them in real life.

    Don't you see? It's so obvious. The more guns the fewer shootings. It can't be simpler than that. Pure logic.

    None of them died shielding the innocent with their bodies. Kinda hard to trump that. No pun.

    If someone is still shot, then it's not that effective.

    Yeah? That happened in your imagination.

    Meanwhile back in reality the guy with a gun stopped the guy shooting students.

    A few qualified armed volunteers would have probably been enough to deter the attempt.

    More Guns = Less Crime

    That depends on a whole range of factors.

    Regardless, standing behind a wall or door doesn't mean you won't get hit.

    They all had years and year and military, police and secret training, a ton of armed enemies coming at them, melee combat skills, indoors in close quarters, and most notably plot armor.

    Two people shot vs 40 shot is something you don't think is effective?

    That explains a lot.

    It's either perfect, or pointless in liberal land.

    Yeah, that's true. They encounter 2 or 3 shoot-outs each month just going to the candy store on the corner. How will they cope when they become adults and have to go the shopping mall if they don't learn how to shoot people when they are young?

    Again, I'm glad you think doing that will play out exactly the way you think it will without any deviations whatsoever.

    Two or 40, the end result is someone was shot.
