For example, take a look at airport security. They have hundreds of armed guards, some with assault rifles, and that will not stop a gun man from driving up the curb and opening fire.
And then the problem is this ONLY protects schools - not malls, churches, movie theaters, government offices, etc....

We give astronomical amounts to other countries. Now you libs want to save money? LOL
Having one armed guard at columbine saved lives. Google it. But I think I like your idea of having four armed guards. Columbine was a failed bombing, not really meant to be just a shooting. Had they been better at timers, they would have killed 500 people. What law would have prevented that?
Armed guards won't save every one. But it is at least a sporting chance. Stop making malls, theaters, etc "Gun Free" zones. I won't need a guard.
