The possibility of students dying accidentally if armed teachers were in every school is a very real one. The likelihood that a gun could be taken, used by a student against others, used by a teacher who snapped, or other accidental deaths, would be greater than the chance of a mass shooting ever happening.
Which is a minimal risk that would be dealt with on a school to school(state to state ?) bases. Let the people vote on it. I and my daughters that have children would feel better knowing their teacher was armed. If the program proved to be a failure, it would be easy to end. Doing nothing on school sites and instead whining for gun control is not a viable option.
Well how about that. We hold a plebiscite in the United States to determine the level of gun control.

What happens when a teacher shoots a student and your daughters no longer feel safe because their teacher could have a gun?
I am amazed at the shortsightedness.
Why would a teacher shoot a student? What about a security guard or cop shoot a student? How about if Godzilla stepped on the school? We could just leave things as they are and accept the costs of a free society. Or, we could at least let qualified teachers defend their and their students lives.
