I don't know what the news is like where you are concerning the shootings, but here in the UK we are quite amazed that there is an argument in the states, that one future answer to the shootings is that armed guards should now be posted as schools in an effort to deter future shootings.
I haven't read through too much of this thread, so I don't know if what I've put above is in entirely true and just another example of the UK press jumping on something. If true though, I find that solution disturbing.
