Who assumes a pacifist religious organization is bristling with guns?
Holy crap, you've never done security work have you?

You were saying?
Thanks for providing us with another example of your utter stupidity and your inability to follow along. Well timed on your part.
It's only January and there are already 2 threads where Incorruptible got publicly ridiculed for his idiocy. LoL, this is good.

I spent 7 years in the military...so I've probably put in a few thousand hours of security work. (much to my dismay, haha)
Maybe it's because I grew up in Pennsylvania and so I knew a bunch of Quakers growing up. Everyone who knows anything about Quakers would know that they wouldn't employ armed guards.

No you didn't, The fact you resort to insults just shows you have lost the debate
As a Quaker since 1969, I can guarantee you that no Quaker edifice of any kind, much less a school, has armed guards. I can also guarantee you that Quakers in general are opposed to violence, based on the one fundamental principle that all Quakers agree upon, notably: "There is that of God in every person." So that, if you kill someone else, you are killing "that of God" in them.
Quakers even debate about whether they should have locked doors. My home Meeting in Rochester NY debated for some time about how to deal with the fact that the entry to our building is on the first floor, while the Meeting is held on the 2nd. The building is in a high crime area. To lock the doors would be to lock people out of worship. So someone volunteers each week to welcome any latecomers. And no, the greeter isn't armed, and no one would even IMAGINE arming them.
Quakers believe in the power of love to overcome evil. By living in the light, becoming living witnesses to Jesus' message to love all, including one's enemies, to turn the other cheek (all to be found in Matthew 5).
The very idea that a Quaker school would have armed guards is more than ludicrous.
