Ok, so you don't wrap your head around it, but do you consider it fair for me, as a parent, to be able to (having wrapped my head in a particular way) say that the teachers of my kids are NOT going to be carrying guns at school?
I cannot wrap my head around the fact that the right in general has spent years denigrating the role of teachers, and their responsibility but now want them armed.

Children on the other hand are prone to both.
