Not to get too deep into the gun debate, but the flip side of that is that if responsible individuals (say a principal) were to be carrying, this might not have gone as far as it did. Statistics...

Re: Republicans redefine rape for abortion laws

Interestingly, on the opposite side, in prison you would want the opposite. Statutory rape is viewed as much worse among prisoners, which is kind of ironic.
