Yeah because gun control is working right?
On topic, I think it is questionable having janitors with guns. They're one of the least respected professions in the world, wouldn't be long before a kid makes fun of the janitor and one of them loses their cool...maybe he doesn't shoot the kid but even if he just points it at the kid to scare the shit out of him or fires a warning shot...would be bad news.
My solution is:
1) The principal and vice principal(s) should have guns locked in their respective offices. There's 2 or 3 armed good guys right there, and the guns would always be safely locked away in a spot that students have very limited access to (and would never be in unattended).
AND (not or)
2) An armed officer or two in schools. Even my school in Canada had an officer there full time (but unarmed I believe, mind you) so it's not a big deal. Having an armed officer or two in schools would massively increase the safety in schools, the only downside is the added cost of his salary.
This way there would be anywhere from 3-5 good guys with guns who could quickly react to an armed assailant. Now doesn't that sound better than the shooter having a school full of defenceless kids and teachers to attack while it takes the police 10+ minutes to get there and respond?
