@WSJ Pathetic. Schools should be an open place for kids to feel comfortable, not a jail cell with armed guards.

@WSJ real ridiculous, they want to make schools feel like prisons & fortresses

Unfortunately it may be a necessity, at least in some areas. Public schools are simply not the "safe place" that they once were.

Yes! As an idealist, I wish there were other immediate alternatives. But with the second amendment, and several hundred million guns in America, there is no practical alternative to protect our kids. If someone says otherwise, there are demagoguing the issue. Protect our kids now. Not with some dreamy idea that won't have an effect for years.

They should be everywhere to protect and serve the public. Its their job. There is no reason why schools should be defenseless after this tragedy.

@WSJ NRA says bad guys will always be bad guys. But they'll only be bad guys with semi automatics if we give them the semi automatics.

@WSJ If more effective gun control legislation could save one life, why not go that route?

@KNDIMAN @WSJ Schools are dangerous bc of mentally ill and young getting weapons. background checks and safe gun keeping laws solve this.

@WSJ Where is the money for this coming from? Schools are laying off or not hiring all over. More important kids get proper education

The NRA should pay the $12 Billion necessary to put 2 armed guards in 100,000 schools out of membership dues.
