A person who doesn't have any teachers in their life wouldn't understand this. Actually, almost everyone doesn't understand what they're talking about regarding this issue. A gun fight is one of the most stressful situations anyone could ever be in, with the incredible noise and the knowledge that any second a piece of metal flying at 2000 FPS can end your life instantly. All of a sudden, we're going to train the educators of children to manage that kind of situation? The kind of situation law enforcement and soldiers are trained years for? It's a half-assed, moronic idea brought up to divert attention away from the real issue....an over-availability of assault weapons in our country.

Spend that money on more school supplies so teachers don't have to spend out of their own pocket and do something about the gun problem.
