Would you be willing to tell every school in the country to trade one teacher for a security guard and just make it work?
It's not as if suddenly schools are going to get free money to make something like that happen, so such a thing would come at the cost of fewer teachers or cuts elsewhere and it's really questionable whether a security guard would be an effective deterrent.
The media is in hysterics about this thing. These sorts of shootings are actually on a very steep decline. Go look at the statistics, school shootings are about half as common as they were 20 years go.
