No. And here's why.
"But you can't just leave it at that!" said Anathema, pushing forward. "Think of all things you could do! Good things!"
"Like what?" said Adam suspiciously.
"Well ... you could bring all the whales back, to start with."
He put his head on one side. "An' that'd stop people killing them, would it?"
She hesitated. It would have been nice to say yes.
"An' if people do start killing 'em, what would you have me do about 'em?" said Adam. "No. I reckon I'm getting the hang of this now. Once I start messing around like that, there'd be no stoppin' it. Seems to me, the only sensible thing is for people to know if they kill a whale, they've got a dead whale."
Good Omens.

And frankly, why should teachers be given that extra responsibility?

If you could snap your fingers, and magically transport a gun through time and into the hands of the principal and/or teachers of Sandy Hook as the tragedy was starting to unfold, "Would you do it?"
Be honest with yourself. Would you?
Thanks in advance for your courtesy.

Extra responsibility for those of us who aren't recreational shooters or have concealed and carry permits.

What I've been pondering lately is some sort of bullet-proof metal doors that can seal off a section of every classroom. They come down from the ceiling and can only be raised via special code. Kids would then be in a safe area. And just wait for rescue.
I don't know the logistics of this, or if its even feasible...but I'd rather do this than carry a gun.

Yes, I would.
But, if you knew that this was happening in a school right now, and you could click your fingers to make every single gun in America useless, would you do it?
Be honest,
