Re: Pakistan attack raises tough question: should teachers shoot back?
The recognition of basic human rights -- particularly the right to life -- should not be limited for any subset of humanity. Therefore, teachers should not be disallowed the tools to protect themselves adequately except in circumstances where due process has made them a prohibited person. Whether it is a good idea for a person prohibited from owning a firearm to be a teacher or not is, of course, another philosophical question. Each person must make the very personal choice to fight, flee or faint in defense of life, but none should be unarmed (by law or policy) who would fight.
