3. Wouldn’t it be at least a little cheaper to hire one or two veterans who are seeking employment, as long as they were honorably discharged with not PTSD or similar? I think it’s safe to assume most of them have at least a little bit more training than your average police officer, so you wouldn’t have to pay for that. Also, given that you’d be paying another employee (whose military pay was most likely less than that of a starting teacher), it’s slightly help the unemployment rate of the nation, plus generate revenue via taxes (though you’d be paying for it via school taxes).

1. If you’re about to shoot up a school and you know there is an armed guard there, he simply becomes your first target
2. what if the shooter is happy with ~10 people dead, so he just goes in the other end of the school and kills his targets before taking his own life or waiting for the security guy to run over (if left alive)
3. what schools are going to have these guards? Colleges? Highschools? Middle? Elementary? Kindergarden? ALL of them? Where would you stop? Regardless of this shooting an armed guard in front of a kindergarden/elementary school is ridiculous.
