This is the same argument you deplore when phrased as reducing the speed limit to unworkable limits to save 36,000 lives a year or its equivalent in the global warming context.

A world where "well trained armed teachers" exist is a world where everyone is armed and the police beat everyone with sticks every block or so to keep them in line. We don't want to live in a five mph world, and we don't want to live in this world either.
