Subject: Re: You are your own first responder
Interesting thread. The responses you've gotten have included the maximalist logic that says "Wait, you're advocating for guns in every classroom. If we have guns in every classroom, because there are more guns, there will be more accidents and more violence!"
...which is a number of logical fallacies baked into 1 post.
But what can we examine? How about this: let's look at the safety records in school districts that bowed to the progressive left's wishes and #cancelled their school police presence. Surely there must be some information out there about how that went, right?
Turns out there is. Spoiler alert: like all schemes favored by progressive democrats, it's not working:

Denver: In a statement posted to social media, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock admitted the decision to do away with SROs was "a mistake" and that "we must move swiftly to correct it."
Virginia: Before the reversal, the 2021 academic year was marred by a wave of violent incidents, including the triggering of an ACHS lockdown when a student was found in possession of a handgun, an all-out brawl inside the ACHS cafeteria
Maryland: Less than a year after Montgomery County Public Schools became the first jurisdiction in Maryland to get rid of cops from its school buildings, the county backtracked in April 2022 when MCPS signed a new Memorandum of Understanding with Montgomery County's Police Department.
Proponents of progressive ideology shouldn't worry: there will *always* be cities like Seattle where parents are more concerned with publicly signaling their virtue (while privately pulling their kids from public schools) so you will always have a place where bad policy is forever enshrined.
