Not only does such a measure heighten the risk of accidental shootings and student-led shootings (if the teacher is not careful about secure storage), but it also creates an environment of fear in schools, which is counterintuitive to what the movement is trying to achieve. Instead of fearing being shot by strangers, they will now fear being shot by their teachers, a fear which is only multiplied when you take into consideration the impact this would have on Black, Latin, and Native American students. The "it'll teach kids not to disobey their teachers" argument (that I have heard be made) is a ridiculous one that I will not even get into. Children should learn to respect people, not fear them.
TL;DR whoever thought this was a good solution in the slightest obviously hasn't been in a school in at least 30 years
