I Don't Think Guns Make Us Safer

I think it is a double edge sword. One on end, you would think having guns means security and therefor protection, which equals safety. On the other end, the gun you have to protect yourself with, will the others will have them as well so the likely hood of resolving matters peaceful has a good chance to escalate to violence.

we had a 2 day active shooter safety drill for faculty staff and students where I teach. it was noted that there was a legally armed student at the Oregon community college mass shooting who simply escaped and did not engage the shooter. we was instructed that a legally armed person is not an impromptu police officer.
