The conversation is not about Teachers defending themselves, but about Teachers tasked with hunting down an armed intruder, having no information of who and where, facing the crazy opponent wildly out-gunned and uninformed.
I think the professionals, the SWAT team, are the ones to emulate, and we see how they handle things—successfully, but slowly, deliberately, with superior weapons, training, and information.
I am not where you get your information but nobody on the Right has even suggested that teachers are tasked with the job that SWAT or police officers should do. All anyone is saying is that teachers, volunteers, whoever be trained with a firearm and have it handy just in case the shooter breaks into a room with the teacher and children and who will be be able to take out the shooter IF he enters the room. I don't know where you people get the idea that the President, the NRA or anybody else is trying to make anybody a police officer tasked with hunting down the shooter. The teacher or volunteer's job would be to stay with the children for their protection.
