        The shooter didn’t “barricade” himself in the classroom. He locked the door.

        Consider the Dayton 2019 shooting. In the 32 seconds before he was shot dead by the “good guys”, the shooter fired 41 rounds, killing 9 and wounding 17.

        The "good guy with a gun" line should have died and been buried at Uvalde, except ... even the highest-calibre logical objections can't penetrate the mental Kevlar adopted by "good guy with a gun" guys.

        Good guys with a gun would leave their NRA memberships taped to the conference doors with the word cancelled on it.

        . The "gun control laws don't help" trope always ignores the fact that at the retail level private firearms store owners are 2A fanatics themselves who couldn't care less about "laws" Add in gun shows and private sellers and you have an industry dedicated to ignoring "laws"
