More people massacred due to a proposed solution.

They are not the easiest professional group to negotiate with.
Reaching common ground on firearms training could present problems.
(3) Is it totally out of the question as a solution? No.
Other prevention measures look potentially more successful to me.
Perhaps a number of armed personnel at most schools is feasible.
I can't help thinking of putting out fire with gasoline.
That's probably just me, though.

What if they are put in schools like the air marshals in planes?
