"J'ai été un Marine, je ne veux pas d'arme dans ma classe" (Anthony Swofford)

L'ancien Marine et professeur de création littéraire Anthony Swofford explique pourquoi à son avis ce ne serait pas une bonne idée de permettre au personnel des écoles de porter une arme. Swofford est également l'auteur de “Jarhead: A Marine’s Chronicle of the Gulf War and Other Battles.”

 "What if a history teacher had also been armed? And an English teacher, and a math teacher, and the janitorial staff members? In this National Rifle Association fever dream, a high school would concentrate so much firepower in the hands of its employees that no deranged individual with a weapon would dare enter the premises.

This sort of thinking also has no grounding in reality. People attack heavily armed institutions all too often, as with the mass shootings in 2009 at Fort Hood in Texas and in 2013 at the Washington Navy Yard. Assailants in such cases aren’t typically worried about losing their lives in the process. Usually, losing their lives is part of the plan.
