However, in my opinion if one trusts teachers with the mental and physical safety of their children, why would they have a problem with a CCW qualified teacher carrying a firearm? Eliminating the 2nd Amendment will not stop murder. And if someone is naive enough to believe that banning certain types of guns will solve their problem, it won't and they are just living in a fantasy world. Once you ban one type of weapon, it only gives an opening to justify banning other weapons and then other types, etc. Yes, it would happen. Americans are not naive and know how an inch becomes a mile, especially/ESPECIALLY when it comes to overreach.
Remember, when one person can shoot 21 people with a bolt action rifle from a tall building, then banning certain type of weapons won't eliminate murder.

I gave my opinion earlier about hardening schools. Some schools might be hardened and it would be expensive and might require tax increases, which are like pulling teeth. Not all schools will be hardened. And neither can the US harden ALL high school football games, malls, churches, concerts, and other soft targets. That solution is SO weak that it is similar to "just not change anything because some people hate change" and will have little effect.
Australia and other countries have PROVEN CONCLUSIVELY that they LOWERED greatly the number of mass-murder events to close to ZERO. But US people are like the Australian bird with its head in the sand, with respect to ignoring the obvious solutions. The Australian bold and effective SOLUTION is RARELY mentioned on US TV. US people are adverse to change and are very ethnocentric ......to their own detriment.
True story.......During WW2 the US army carried its rifles (often loaded) on their shoulders with the barrel pointing upward. Australians carried their rifles on their shoulders with the barrel pointed downward. When asked by Americans why they did such a STUPID thing. The Aussies just laughed and said that it is better to shoot yourself in the foot than in the head!
