Obviously no one knows.
There are NO easy answers!

And PERHAPS that gunman would have quickly dispatched the teacher or mall cop in the hallway and now has another weapon and more bullets for his/her killing spree. You see PERHAPS works both ways, perhaps. But it defies logic to have gun totin' teachers as your line of defense against the repetition of last Friday. It IMO is also important they we don't try to find a solution to this one episode and not look at the bigger picture of gun deaths in America. Avoid the kind of simplistic cure that taking off our shoes would make air flight safe because of one use of shoes to bring down a plane.
