After all if they are teaching our children I would hope they are mentally compotent. Additionally there are new handguns being developed that can only me fired by a person with a bracelet coded to that gun, this would preclude any student that somehow got a hold of that gun from using it. Unfortunatley I don't see any other answer, You cannot remove all guns from the general public at this point, and I would not like to see that happen. To conquer a country first you must disarm its citizens.

I have to agree with you that at this point this needs to be the answer. Secure it first and then lets talk about fixing the problem. It is a shame that this needs to be done. We need to have a serious conversation about our continuing slide to more and more violence. At this rate we will be back to the Wild West sooner then you think. There are also many people that have firearms training already and with a little more training could be put into these locations on a temporary assignment until we figure it out. Just the presence of these individuals just may stop another incident in a school. Not the final answer but at least a start.
