Were there security guards at Umpqua Community College? I haven't followed the story close enough, but am guessing not. Historically, to guard against crime, we place police officers and security guards in places of danger. I do think that a better solution than the throw-everybody-a-gun approach. Having a marshal in town, so to speak, is usually enough, rather than instructing everyone to bring their own gun to the fight.
Another thought, is to consider metal detectors. The security model at airports is proving successful, so maybe we should consider it for our schools.
