Waiting. Easily.
5% of gun-related deaths are accidental in the USA. Covid lockdowns significantly increased the number of accidental deaths as children were left at home with access to those guns.
Moving those guns into the classroom will result in more accidental deaths than the 20ish deaths you see every couple of years from situations like this. Then you'll also have students recognizing that their five foot nothing, 72 year old substitute teacher is packing and they won't even need to wait until they are 18 to legally purchase like Ramos did when they can just swipe it.
Honestly, a better plan would be to arm the bullied. You really going to keep picking on Steve's gigantic ears after the teacher just gave him a .44 because he was crying? It's sad that this is honestly a better "solution" than the arming teachers people are actually debating lol.
