If giving teachers handguns doesn't work, maybe we could give them all uzis

If that doesn't work, why not give them bazookas and grenades, too?

And if that's not enough, how about recruiting armed volunteers to patrol the school hallways? We could get plenty of volunteers from any of those goose-stepping open-carry rallies where confederate flags are a-flapping.

Just never ever to suggest that guns are a problem, because that could impact the firearms business

How many innocent kids would be killed by teachers.

The crazies always control the group because everyone is afraid to set them off. The RW politicians are so afraid of their armed base, they don't want to see the anarchy they will unleash on them if they don't get their way. Better kids than their won self-important asses.
