And before you say that’s just a boomer thing, consider these comments from where I got it:

My Indiana elementary school in the early 80s too.

    Shooter drills have everyone sit in the corner of the room with the lights off, shades down, door locked, and instructions to be quiet and attack anyone who goes through the door with whatever you can throw

      Gee, it’s almost like having a deadly weapon that can be wielded by almost anyone, and would do an excellent job at protecting those children, would be a good idea.

      Naw, let the children fight off bullets with books and paperweights. Life’s a bitch - no sense in coddling them.

        Of course, the solution to children using deadly weapons is to give them to more children. Genius!

          Schools used to have shooting ranges built into them. And school shootings weren’t a problem. Kids are more than capable of being responsible around firearms.

          The only reason you’re gunphobic is because you’ve been brainwashed.
