The illusion of safety can often be the most dangerous obstacle. Plus if you have teachers and half the staff armed up it's creating a hostile environment for any potentially "messed up" kid, therefore
possibly encouraging him to attack. I'm from England so I don't really have the American mentality. However it seems to me that if you have teachers armed, then students will copy, thus encouraging shootings.
I think the emphasis should be on preventing kids from getting to the state where they even consider a shooting as a viable option, and not on making the school into some kind of potential shooting house.
