1) several lies
a) the cop most likely decreased the number of casualties
b) one incident does not prove an armed officer is worthless any more than a patient who dies of a disease even though a protocol that saves 95% of the patients proves the therapy worthless
c) anything that makes a target a harder challenge normally will save lives
The only lies are from you are suggesting you know, when you don't.
Columbine is a big school. One cop did not make much of a difference.... I agree that an example of one is not a prima facie argument.

Just as absurd as one example not being the whole argument, the notion of "anything that makes the target a harder challenge...." is also weak, as with all solutions, there has to be a cost benefit. A school district spending $1M to make something nominally harder is not cost effective and therefore not likely a solution....
You should just admit that 50-75 student deaths per year is an acceptable level of collateral damage for your unfettered gun rights....
