I think teachers should just teach. I think armed guards

saying that armed teachers can't protect students but I see potential
problems with this idea.

And you *don't* see *actual* problems with the status quo?

Why does anyone think that laws declaring schools to be "gun free zones" will magically
prevent criminals from bringing guns into schools? If someone is willing to violate the law
prohibiting murder, why doesn anyone think he would *obey* a law that prohibits him from
bringing a gun into a school?

Please note my careful choice of verbs in the preceding paragraph. Laws *prohibit* bad
behavior. They do NOT *prevent* it.


That's why I think armed guards should be used vs. status quo.
