It is a practical skill (along with using a tourniquet), and the simple truth is that while we can say this is in the name of “school safety” it is in fact a much-needed skill set in Islam’s War on the West. Kinda like how prepping for the zombie apocalypse happens to require the same skill set as prepping for other domestic problems...
The thing about students rallying for gun control, is that it is PC and it already takes it for granted that that is the solution to the problem.
Would be much better to rally for better school security, to include gun control and all other measures. ALL OTHER MEASURES. That is, if they really want to solve a problem.
Along the same lines, anything that can be done to make schools safe from “evil white kids with guns” also should make them safe from Muslim attacks (remember Beslan?).
