Obviously, adults cannot be trusted with their safety from guns.

Back in the sane world, more guns is not the solution to too many guns of war in civilian hands.

I have personally witnessed several teachers slap students in the face, grab them roughly, or smack them in the back of the head. Why yes, I did go to school in Appalachian Trump country, how did you guess? Come on, teachers can get irritated and do irrational things. Students can be assholes. It happens.
These situations are always better without a gun.

Were there warning signs beforehand?
I had a teacher who had a nervous breakdown after school let out.
Didn't see the breakdown, but people told me the guy was out of his mind.
