It seems to me that the very same people who want the armed guards will then be bitching about the government taking away their freedoms and conducting illegal searches.
Do you agree that this could become the case? You can simultaneously say you want a smaller government to stay out of your business and life while also telling them they need to put armed guards in the school.

We can't afford armed guards in every school. If we had them, any accidental deaths would be so extremely rare that the lives saved would far far far outnumber them.
You or anyone would agree that police officers running around with guns hasn't caused more accidental deaths than it has saved innocent lives, right? And that is even considering that most of them are the worst shooters on earth.
I am saying that adults who work in schools should have the choice and be allowed to arm themselves. Calling for a mandate to arm faculty is a far cry from what I'm talking about. I am saying that if someone on our side is in there armed, we at least have a CHANCE.
