Why? The chance they my kids find my guns and play with them causing a tragedy is much higher than the chance I'll need to use a gun. Crime is incredibly low in my area, with the most pressing crime on my neighbors' minds being a "break-in" (nobody locks their doors) several years before we moved in by akid in the neighborhood, and we've been here >10 years without any incidents.

Valid. But it's different if you are a transgender person living by yourself (i have heard and don't question the claim that transgender people in some areas may have their lives threatened)

most mass shootings would be averted if we actually enforced the laws we have.

Wasn't there a school shooting in America where the police tried to "contain" the shooter instead of confronting him? By contain, leave him in a class of kids.

Right, which is a huge part of why I'm pro-gun despite not wanting them in my house. I think they're very useful tools to have for a lot of people, so they should be accessible.

Probably. I know there were at least cases where the police waited outside.

I'm very much in favor of arming and training teachers. I trust a teacher to protect my kids way more than a police officer, even if they're stationed permanently at the school. They shouldn't be compelled of course, but it should be an option w/ free training provided by the local police dept or gun club.
