I gotta side with the NRA (aka the people who know and deal with gun people) on this one. There is no magic faery dust that will remove all the guns from America nor effective way to prevent people from getting guns who shouldn't. No matter what you think about guns - there are 10s of millions of them out there and government isnt able to keep track of them all. It may look good for a politician to say they want to ban guns but actually eliminating the threat of bad guys getting their hands on a gun is impossible. We live in a flawed world and realistically we need to arm schools to provide protection for our kids. That doesnt mean every kindergarten teach needs to pack heat though. Thats a red herring argument. Treat them like defibrillators or another emergency devices. Have 1-2 in the building locked up somewhere and train a few members of the staff to use them if the need arises. We should ban high capacity magazines and the weapons that fire them, but unlike the toothless Clinton Assault weapons ban, lets not just ban all new weapons and magazines but the all old ones too. It wont keep us 100% safe and it wont prevent people from stockpiling illegal guns and ammo..but its something.
