I agree, no civilian and most ex-military can never reach the shooting and tactical skill levels of our military special operators, regardless of branch. It appears to me that 99% of "tactical" law enforcement officers can't either.
The way I see it, the school shootings happen more frequently because the shooters know they are unlikely to encounter armed resistance. If some teachers, coaches and administrators have received on-going training including high round counts on the range, I think that the potential shooters are going to find a softer target environment. This latest FL shooter either didn't consider the on-campus armed guard a threat or knew he was more of a coward than the shooter.
Yes, not all teachers will or should go offensive on a shooter. The coach in Florida would have been much more effective with a handgun as he moved toward the shooter than to die unarmed.
Obviously, the left (and allies on right) have no interest in protecting children, preventing crime or recognizing that we have the right to self defense, regardless of whether they like it or not.
