You're the one who moved the goalposts to "forcing". The GP comment said "States are passing laws to arm teachers". Nobody needs to be "forced" to take up arms for "arming teachers" to be an accurate characterization of what lots of states are doing. And besides, my point was just how easy it is to find lots of examples, here's Texas [1], here's [2] an article from 2019 where lawmakers in 6 states (Florida, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Texas) were also trying to allow it. And I literally haven't even left the first page of google results for "arm the teachers". Lots of people would rather have teachers stepping right into the line of fire rather than address the root cause.
> Boy you must be fun at parties.
Not really, but "you're no fun" is hardly a rebuttal.
