I like what Scotland did.
Outlawed guns. Solved the problem.
Worried about security? Buy a dog. When your kid plays with it, they won't wind up dead.
I read a Time magazine article a few years back. They had a big article on gun deaths in the US. The provided a picture of everyone who was killed by a gun over the course of a week. When you look at the data, for every time a gun is used for self defence there are 54 accidental fatalites.
I wouldn't allow my child to attend a school where the principal carried a firearm - even if he was perfectly sane, and well trained. It is the unforseen circumstances I would be worried about.
