Of course not. They will hire a bunch of old guys to stand in the corner with a gun. A gun they don't know how to use. They will run when a pissed off white guy with an AR walks in.
More guns is not the solution. This response is STUPID
You want guns in school then pay for full up military stress adrenaline training. I am not talking about 6 weeks of police academy. Also full and frequent mental health evaluations. Provide a high wage with full benefits. Full healthcare and a pension.
What this clown wants to do is hire some clown security firm.
