Train and provide schools with easy-to-use NON-LETHAL weapons, such as the taser shotgun, or incapicitating flashlight.

Created by J.M. on January 05, 2013

There was no lack of courage by the teachers and administrators at Sandy Hook Elementary when they were attached by a mentally disturbed person. They simply had no way to defend themselves or their children. Perhaps if one or more of those teachers/administrators had access to weapons that could incapacitate a person from a distance, without hurting them permanently, more children could have been saved. There are a multitude of reasons to NOT have deadly weapons in school that don't need to be enumerated here. Many of these arguments disappear if we instead consider non-lethal weapons. An incapacitating flashlight (google it) seems very effective and easy-to-use, and could fit in every teacher's desk drawer. A vice principal could keep a taser shotgun (google it) in his/her office.
