I wish, but I doubt it, and even if parents clamored about protecting their kids the proposals from at least some state governments tend more to the "give all teachers guns" side than to anything resembling gun control.

I know I wouldn't have felt very safe in school if I knew the teachers had weapons. I saw plenty of teachers melt down at school, including threatening and striking kids, especially in high school. Remember when "going postal" was a thing? Do you suppose public school teachers endure as much stress as postal workers?

I was never too worried about school shootings when I had young kids, but I homeschooled them most of their school years. Not out of fear. Then when my oldest daughter was at college I saw on the news an active shooter at the school she attended. It turned out to be a crazy person waving a gun around (no one shot) but scared the hell out of me. When I was in elementary school we did nuclear war drills -- crawl under your desk, know where the nearest fallout shelter is. That threat seems almost comically remote now, compared to the number of people with guns and behavioral disorders among us.
