Cost
has to be a determining factor here, though. Because schools can barely afford the teachers they have, the security they have, the supplies they have. Many of these same NRA members who are crowing for armed guards are the same Republicans who are cutting the education budget wherever they can, refusing to pay taxes which would allow schools to provide better education, to provide students with proper counseling, to provide increased security measures.
Unless the NRA wants to fund the weaponry and extensive training, they need to sit down and shut up.
