Why can’t they arm teachers with tasers so that if somehow it falls into the hands of a student it cannot be used to kill another student. I don’t know that much about tasers but it seems to make sense.

Yes, that’s a better idea. Or something that can immobilize like mace. Why not even BB guns?

Tasers are short range many things can stop them from working properly some people are not effected.

Worrying about students or others grabbing someones firearm is why over stated by the anti’s.

It can be lessen by proper training and retention holster.

Because tasers are useless against opponents with stand-off weapons (firearms). Let anyone who chooses to arm himself do so. Issue those people "special deputy" status. I suspect you can find any number of people capable of safely using firearms, and willing to do so.

Because the moment it stops, misses, or otherwise fails to debilitate the would-be killer, you’ve just given him reason to do you great harm.

I’ve been on the receiving end of a “stun gun”. Shrugged it off and immediately fired 17 rounds into a target.
