Would you like to bet something worthwhile I can’t post a story about an AirForce 1Sgt who has done something incredible stupid and criminal ?
Assuming you are not that out of touch and understand I can ...
I assure you I would not take that specific failure of a human and make claim it applies to you as well simply because he is a peer of yours.
Even though you just made a sad attempt at the same ignorance here in this post

He seems fond of "false generalization", extrapolating one teacher's --- assumed -- reckless firing of a gun in school as proof that will be common "if teachers are armed".
He demonstrates that by his statement that he finds the subject teacher typical of all teachers --
"Same teachers same weapons so yes I am equating them."
He has a lot of flaws in his logic, including his application of "Occam's Razor", which I discuss elsewhere.

1SG Dennis Hicks - It's amazing how many think that stating their opinion is equivalent to defending it. Everything they post is "self-evident", because they have uttered it.

As much as I agree that teachers shouldn't be expected to carry firearms to school, I think this incident is not indicative of teachers as a whole. This guy took precautions to avoid injuring students - so his intent was not malice towards them. He's probably angry at the idea and couldn't think of a better way to make his point.

MAJ Don Bigger - My favorite, Major, is "Acu rem tetigisti."
What do you think of the application of Occam's Razor to that "tu quoque"?

CW3 Harvey K. Briefly, and if I understood your question correctly, your employment of tu quoque was an appropriate response to his flawed argument, pointing out a clear logical fallacy (in this case a mistake in reasoning). His use of Occam’s Razor doesn’t fit his argument. He hasn’t presented any hypothetical solutions to a problem, so you can’t begin to pick the one with the fewest assumptions.
If I misunderstood your question, let me know.

MAJ Don Bigger - "Acu rem tetigisti", Major. Occam's razor has no application to his "tu quoque".

C'mon now... We can't take anecdotal cases and try to apply it to the entire argument. It rings as false as when people use the same tactic to push the "good guy with a gun" angle. It doesn't really help anything.
But given the issue is so intractable, and people on both sides are so emotionally attached to their "solutions", have fun while you can I guess.
