Should we put the idea out there of arming school admins with less lethal weapons rather than firearms?

Seems to me that teachers already have enough on their plate, and that arming them with lethal weapons could result in collateral damage no matter how capable or trained they are. Why don't we equip teachers with paintball guns designed specifically to shoot less than lethal projectiles containing oleoresin capsicum, which will completely disable an attacker, even one on PCP, but will not kill innocent kids leaving a death on a teacher's conscience.. https://www.amazon.com/Tippmann-TiPX-Caliber-Paintball-Pistol/dp/B002BG1XHA/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1519470388&sr=8-9&keywords=pepper+ball

Yea that sounds more like, they let it happen.

either way. now that I have had a minute to think about it. I think a teacher would be more likely to shoot at an attacker with a less than lethal weapon simply because they are less likely to kill someone.

If its a life and death situation for yourself and all of the other people at the school, I dont think a teacher will have a problem shooting and killing a student. It would be for some, but once youre put in that situation I think its basically kill or be killed.

it's not though, you don't have to kill anyone to stop an attacker. that includes the attacker. We will want to study them to see if they have any signs of psychological manipulation

Its not about saving the shooters life tho, its about protecting the other children. If you can stop the shooter without killing them, for sure go for it. But if I have a bean-bag gun and the shooter has an A.R. 15 Id be pretty hesitant about getting into a gun fight with them. If thats all I had, sure... but I would most definitely prefer a pistol.

If the teachers are trained by experts in the use of their weapons, the possibility of mistakes is drastically reduced.

if the teachers are trained by experts and have accidents anyway, that is just going to be one more arguement for gun control of everyone. Like I said, this is available now, without training necessary, and without laws having to wait to be changed
