Is really arming the teachers something we as Americans should consider? With the stressors teachers are already under to get kids to perform, are we now asking for too much? I added the pic of the POTUS as an pictorial example of stressors we could leave our educational professionals under. What do you think is a possible solution?

I agree, but should they be armed? And what about adding to the local police force and placing them in the schools?

properly trained and certified securit would be easier on the taxpayer, SSG Warren Swan . I am not talking Paul Blart nor Blackwater International. But the unarmed guy in Oregon was ineffective at deterrence.

I am sure the security guards will be trained and paid well! Arming the person with commitment to the students and skin in the game will be better. Give select teachers training and more pay.

I certainly agree that gun free zones are just an invitation to a soft target. Allowing personal concealed carry or limited terms sounds like a good idea to me. (I support a fingerprint safe bolted to the underside of a qualified teacher's desk for sure)
Not all teachers need nor should they be armed. All the banther about cross fire is ridiculous All mass shootings at a school are solely intended to do the most damage possible, shooting back has almost always resulted in the perpetrator's death or suicide.
Israel arms some of their teachers and all in high risk areas with significant less problems that what we face here considering their risk level I think they are doing this right.

Armed teachers, guards bolster school security in Israel
Americans intent on ensuring a school massacre like the one in Newtown, Conn., never happens again could learn a lot from Israel, where the long menu of precautions includes armed teachers.

Its a tricky question because how many teachers are going to be comfortable having a gun at their desk? While may teachers are probably okay with guns and know how to use one, there are just as many who are not comfortable with guns and are opposed to them.
Having properly trained armed security guards is better or even hiring more police officers and assigning them to the schools.
We all know that Gun Free zones are nice on paper but someone bent on killing people with their guns is not going to stop because its a Gun Free zone.
Gun Free zones only apply to law abiding citizens not criminals.
