I understand that you feel safe in mommy's basement... but are you really this stupid?
The act of having to get passed this well armed (most likely also wearing body armor) would cause a disturance and giving most a chance to escape.
It ruins the element of surprise.
Plus more importantly if other join him, now you have a serious security detail.
Idiot.

He is standing on a sidewalk, off school grounds, as he does not have permission to be on school grounds. It would be the easiest drive up or drive-by in the world.

I dislike "keyboard warriors" who belittle the solid efforts of others to do good. What are you doing to help? This is a good first step toward what needs to be done: protecting our children. THERE IS NO WAY TO REMOVE ALL GUNS FROM AMERICA. You'll only remove guns from law-abiding citizens who only want to protect ourselves from said massacres.

I am a gunsmith who carries, well older than you. Do you realize standing around with an AR OUTSIDE a school makes you a REALLY EASY TARGET?
The only moron is the guy standing there, basically wearing a SHOOT ME FIRST sign.

Considering that companies have discovered simply having employees say "hello" deters shoplifters, I'd say this guard would be a decent deterrent to a school shooter. But overall school shootings are such a non issue I wouldn't worry about it.

And do YOU realize how an ambush works? that if he goes for the "easy target" that either a gunfight breaks out, or God forbid the man dies, he's lost all the element of surprise, shots ring out, school locks down. He shot a man on a sidewalk in daylight. Police are on the way , schools locked down, and pedestrians are gone. Massacre averted, and anyone willing to trade their life for the good of many is not doing THEATER. If you are so old as you claim, you're getting fucking senile and it's time to go to the home.

You fix guns, so you're an obvious expert on situational awareness. He's defending against a mentally disturbed student, not against Seal Team 6. He's a great deterrence.
