If teachers were properly trained on how to operate a handgun that is extremely concealable I guarantee schools would be safer. If an individual who wanted to harm innocent people knew those people were armed that would be a sufficient deterrent already; and if they wanted to still carry out the attack they would suffer the consequences.

I am not sure they should know who is armed, but that teachers at the school are armed. It might be one, it might be all. Someone trained and able to provide on-site rapid response is the best deterrent a school can have.

Yes teachers should have guns if they feel comfortable having one. I think disgusting students who think about harming people in the school would be less likely to do so if a majority of the school was armed.

If there were stricter regulations there would be no reason for schools to implement them. If someone is plotting to attack a school they most likely expect themselves to either get killed or incarcerated. They have already planned out for the worst so they still would execute their mass homicide. If they want to kill, a shooter won't be deterred by people with guns. Violence can't be solved with violence.

Very few school shootings have actually been stopped by "a good guy with a gun" which is a common argument that republicans will make in the gun control debate. Training teachers would also take too much time and money, which could be used to fund other important programs within schools. Not only this, but some teachers may not feel comfortable carrying a firearm, or they may not want or feel like they need to complete training. Overall, having teachers carry firearms in schools would simply be ineffective, and would be a waste of time and resources.

Yes, teachers should have the right if they qualify school shootings are getting more common and they can protect the class. Also teachers having guns can reduce shootings.
@9FQ37L97mos7MO
Yes, I agree whole-heartedly, and have everyone entering the building pass through a metal detector. The teachers would have scan cards to pass through with their weapons.
