I Call for More Guns, but Put Them in the Hands of Security Officers

   We should consider whether theaters should hire more guards, posting one in every screening room. And, whether guards should be in our schools, and more of them in our malls, and in our shopping centers, and in other venues where the public gathers.
   Are more security guards a partial answer to the mass shootings? My impression, is yes. One of the alternatives is for more citizens to carry guns. The randomness of that, however, would mean a gun-bearing person wouldn't necessarily be there when needed unless the number of citizens bearing guns really skyrocketed.
   Dangers do come with people having guns. If we encourage everyone to arm themselves, we will face surely face those dangers.
   I like the answer of having security guards better. It is disappointing that we have reached a point where we should feel the need to have guards in public places. But, if the need exists, we should push that direction, we should encourage more places to hire guards.
   We should also be concerned about who ends up behind the guns, who we hire to be the guards, and how they are trained
