Yes but they seem to be forgetting the very obvious thing that will happen (and has already happened) when you have more guns being brought into schools, even by those you (misguidedly) trust.

For some reason they don't seem to be able to get that not having guns in or anywhere near a school is the best way not to have shootings at schools.

That article highlights just one obvious problem. Here are others:

• We can't even rely on our cops to shoot only the people who need to be shot. Now we're going to trust that teachers will be able to perform better under those stresses - which may include the need to shoot one of their own students - than cops do? How on earth does that track?
• Legal gun owners go on shooting sprees too. Really easy for you when you are already whitelisted to be showing up to school armed.
• A variation on the article I linked: Careless teacher with a gun leaves it in the bathroom and kid finds it and shoots themselves and/or others with it instead of turning it in.
