Remember when we predicted this would happen and users here were insistent it wouldn’t? And when people insisted these guards should have guns?

Predicted what would happen? Armed guards have considerably more training and qualifications than unarmed guards, who take an 8 hour course and earn their security certificate. That’s like comparing a doctor to a medical assistant.

In no way, shape, or form would the presence of guns have improved this situation.

Armed guards wouldn’t have gotten “emotionally” involved in a dispute with a person looking for tiktok clout. You’re basically implying that they were going to hand these type of guards a gun and say “good luck”.

yeah, because when I think of a demographic that I trust not to be unhinged, it’s “dudes who’re ineligible to be cops for various reasons but still want to have a gun at their day job”

Lol not everyone who’s an armed guard wants to be a cop, and many are retired from various law enforcement agency’s. It’s extremely difficult to get a armed guard license in NY. If you were ineligible to be a police officer, you wouldn’t be able to get an armed guard license.

Right guns are well known for making people more level headed and less emotional!

It sounds like the correct argument is simply for more training. Guns don’t need to be added to the situation.
