I disagree with this idea

While giving a teacher a firearm in order to protect their students sounds like a good idea, it wouldn't solve anything. For instance, an AK-47 causes a higher number of damage to the human body than an pistol would which is mainly caused by the speed of bullets releasing from the weapon. A shooter could also be armed with bullet-proof clothing while school educators have nothing on to protect them so even if a teacher would be able to shoot the gunman, chances are it would cause no effect to the shooter. Also, what if a teacher is slowly losing their mind due to stress and other issues in their own life? Who's to say that, that teacher wouldn't pull out their weapon and start firing?

The plan isn’t foolproof yet because I’ve thought about it for around 3 minutes. But if a student is bringing in a high caliber weapon into a school building hiding that isn’t going to be an easy task. Possibly hiring security personnel as well as arming teachers could prevent danger from even entering the building.

Biden will issue a pardon of his son Hunter Biden

President Joe Biden has decided to issue a pardon for his son Hunter and is expected to announce it Sunday night, according to a senior White House official with direct knowledge of the decision.The decision marks a reversal for the president, who has repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. The pardon comes ahead of Hunter Biden’s Dec. 12 sentencing for his conviction on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden also is set to be sentenced in a separate criminal case on Dec. 16, after pleading guilty in September on federal tax evasion charges.The pardon is expected to cover both Hunter Biden’s gun charges conviction and guilty plea.The senior White House official said Biden decided over this weekend to grant his son a pardon and began to inform his senior aides on Sunday. Using his pardon power to assure Hunter Biden does not spend time in jail comes as the 82-year-old president is near the end of his term in the White House and has no future election to face. In recent months Biden has said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence.“I will not pardon him,” the president said of his son in June after a jury found him guilty on three federal gun charges.President Biden has discussed issuing a pardon for his son with some of his closest aides since at least Hunter Biden’s conviction in June, two people with direct knowledge of the discussions about the matter said. They said a decision was made at the time for the president to publicly say he would not pardon his son even though doing so remained on the table.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters earlier this month that the president’s position has not changed.
