I can understand why you don't want guns in class but wouldn't it be easier to get rid of the murderous students and teachers? Then everybody could relax a little.

I have never once felt a moment's fear that I was going to be killed when I have attended gun shows, competitions, gone down to the range, or gone out hunting (well, maybe). Guns, like cars, are only tools.

Somehow I don't think putting up signs saying, "Hostage-Free Zone" is going to cut it. It sure didn't work for drugs.

Absolutely. I'm not against having some guns in the schools, I just don't want the teachers in the classroom armed. I don't mind, theoretically, having armed volunteers patrolling, but I'd be very concerned about who we might get in the patrols. I don't think that is an unreasonable concern.
