"Identifiable guards are of very limited use in these cases.They will be the first person killed.Costly & not effec"--tweet by John Lot, Jr. , author More Guns Less Crime who appears on Fox "News"
The armed agents on call at Colunbine were unable to stop the carnage simply because they were outgunned. Armed police on the Virgina Tech. campus were unable to stop 32 deaths.
The cost of putting one armed police officer in every public school in the US is estimated to be about $4.1 billion based on the present average yearly salary for police officers based on Bureau of Labor Statistics figures. One armed officer is not going to prevent much or anything. A shooter with half a brain will take the officer out before he knows what's happening to him. As Lot said, first killed, costly, not effective.
Of the 30,000 + shooting deaths in the US last year, the majority did not occur in or near schools. Shootings have occurred at religious institutions, shopping malls, a military base, civil center and a political event in AZ. The issue for those outside the NRA and their knee jerk supporters is gun violence, not just school shootings.
Even a troglodyte like Teddy Nugent finally got what he deserved.
