Great idea. Armed Guards. With proper training. That'll totally prevent one of them going crazy and shooting the school up.
Listen to what you're saying to yourselves. A man with a gun protecting 4 year old boys and girls. Something wrong maybe? America, why do you think this doesn't happen in other countries? You get one major shooting a month nowadays. Your solution to gun crime is more guns. Can't you see the flaw?
If somebody wants to go to a school and kill a bunch of kids, there are alternatives to guns such as knives, crossbows, poison gas, etc.
There is no perfect counter to any scenario, but having at least a few select individuals be tasked with security would be better than leaving it open.
It's always bothered me how there is no security at places like schools or libraries or movie theaters or whatever. It's one thing to avoid living in fear, but it's another to leave yourself vulnerable.
A good rule of thumb is to always expect the worse. The first people to die are the careless, and all these tragedies in the last dozen years are just showing how careless humans are.
I like being able to live relatively safe here in the UK. After the Batman shootings, sure, I felt scared. I watched TDKR that night, and other people around me were kind of scared. Putting an armed guard there wouldn't make me feel that much safer. What if the armed guard went crazy?
