should children start active shooter training drills in the USA ?

How many times a year and what would that program look like? If you are against active shooter drills but for tornado or fire drills why one and not the other?

@Patriot96 I appreaciate you answered and gave context. If I can have conversation, not so much a debate; . the sticky part with arming teachers is they are teachers not police or soldiers. Many of them do not have a mindset to be in any kind of confrontation much less a gun fight.

if we had plumbers and electrians and said arm all the plumbers and elec's I would maybe raise an eyebrow but I do realize that the people who do those kind of jobs, culturally are more rugged and you could in theory have an easier time finding a better mindset for being armed and tactical while doing their day to day job. I think with teachers it just is a more difficult idea.

In addition given their current pay scale tell them to be teachers / soldiers / bodyguards may be a tough sell.
