I would be willing to say it would have been more likely that it wouldn't have made a difference. The chances are low that a teacher carrying was in the proximity of the shooting, was able to first make sure his/her students was safe, then prepared the weapon for engagement, engaged, and then did it effectively before it was all done.
Are you A) 14 years old B) know nothing about firarms or C) a dumbass.

That's a lot of specific things that have to happen perfectly, especially for people who aren't trained (like SWAT) for that situation and would also have other priorities (ensuring his/her students' safety) that would take priority. The main thing people need to realize that these are extemely rare events, even if one is too many.

But since you seem to think I’m wrong, surely you could point out the problem.
quote:I wasn't placing my faith in them, but if you're arguing I shouldn't place faith in those who have at least had training as a function of their job, then surely you wouldn't place faith in those who are not trained and it's not a function of their job.
