And the rest of the people that defended themselves outside their homes?
Logistically possible, sure. Most local governments are already strapped for cash due to over spending, I'm not sure what a full time armed guard costs, but I'm confident most local governments and schools probably can't afford another several people on their payroll to combat something that is statistically highly unlikely.
How about this, we provide an incentive(what...we can hash that out) for teachers and school officials to become certified to be armed on school grounds. Top notch training(weapons, tactics, etc) for those who are interested in becoming a steward of safety in our schools. Incentives could be higher pay...obviously this would be the easiest way to invite teachers to prepare to defend our children.
Obviously we as a society would need to get over the 'no guns on school property' mentality for this to work. I'm not sure that's attainable, however, assuming these teachers go through some serious training and skills testing, it could be palatable to the majority...??
Even if there isn't a high percentage of teachers that do this, just the possibility of resistance on school grounds could curb the amount of these happenings. If they are brazen enough to to try it, there are skilled people armed and ready to stop the threat. Assuming of course there's a teacher in the school willing to become certified.
