For the love of god, no. The youngest you have to be in order to own any gun is 18, I believe. And you can only purchase a rifle and shotgun, no handguns. So seniors would be the only ones technically able to if that were the case. And I think that would be a bit much. A student could snap and just start the shooting from within. Now, a teacher with a handgun locked away in a case unloaded with a certain combination to open it or maybe a key locked away by ANOTHER key. I think that isn't a bad idea. Arming the teachers is tricky but not out of the question under the correct teachings of having them all take gun safety and shooting classes.

Oracle, that's a lot of statistics - too much for me to exactly say anything about it. Having a gun in the household can save your life, that isn't bad. And walking around with a concealed carry isn't bad either, since there's been many robberies and what not stopped by a civilian in the room with their gun.

There is no winning with guns, honestly.
