It is much more cost effective to harden the schools. That doesn't mean barbed wire and Dobermans. That means taking measures like a few schools have done. There is a fantastic plan implemented by a school in Indiana that stops a killer from accessing children. Florida has implemented the Guardian program in 60% of the schools so far. And of course, as we saw at Greenwood Mall recently, a good Samaritan citizen, armed and trained, stopped the killer in 15 seconds.

What is really the agenda then? Stop killers in their tracks and protect innocent people or disarm law abiding citizens. Those are the two choices.
Also that Greenwood Mall incident further proves my point. he was unsuccessful because he did NOT use a RIFLE and put lots of DISTANCE between himself and his targets. And he did NOT use elevation and cover. Basically, he was NOT a SNIPER and planned badly. He was out of control and probably wanted to die himself.
