Absolutely, stunningly horrific. I don't know if armed teachers would have made a difference or not, but I suspect that they might have. The terrorists f***ers jumped the school during a big celebration with many parents present so that they could get the most people at once. If concealed carry had been permitted on school grounds, and it was a known fact that some teachers and probably some parents were armed, it would have at least made planning and execution more difficult. And however motivated the teachers may have been, a dozen or two parents with guns protecting their children from those b***ards would have been more motivated. Now, I'll say that I don't think a Beslan scenario is nearly as likely in the US. I hope. But over 300 people were killed, including 186 children. I guess I'd like more than hope as weapon against those types if it came down to it.
