Clearly the childrens safety is of less importance to you than maintaining your fantasy about the evil military. You have no idea what a militarized compound is if you think 1 armed guard would do that.
There are already over 10,000 armed guards at schools around the country.
There were armed security forces at NIU. That did not prevent that tragedy.
Where do you get one per every hundred students. That is three or four classrooms in most schools. One per school and who says they have to be police officers. One can find somebody to train at each school. You do realize many former military teach our children. I know that probably scares the southpaws.
Alrighty then. Let's take the Walmart approach and pay minimum wage/no benefits or maybe rely on a volunteer like George Zimmerman.
Ridiculous........putting armed guards in each school. Who is going to watch out over the guards, who is going to protect the side door while the guard is at the front door (or in the lunch room), who is going to protect the guard when they are marked as the first to go because they stand in the way of entry into the school.

Some, maybe all, Wash. D.C. public schools have had D.C police in their public school since at least 1969, Where has the outrage been all these years?
Let the returning military that want teach a few classes in our schools, and have access to firearms at the same time.
They surely could teach our kids a few thangs that our present school system isn't, and harden our schools from a coward such as we just all witnessed.
On April 20, however, Deputy Gardner and campus supervisor Andy Marton, an unarmed school security officer employed by the school district, were eating lunch in Gardner’s patrol car. They were monitoring students in the “Smokers’ Pit,” a spot just to the northwest of campus in Clement Park where the students congregated to smoke cigarettes. Gardner had just finished his lunch when he received a call over the school’s radio from a custodian. “Neil,” called the custodian in a panicked voice, “I need you in the back lot!”
Also, in a multiple shooter scenario a single armed guard won't do much, so what's next?
Who cares what the NRA says? They aren't government, but a paid lobby group funded by the gun and ammunition manufacturers. They can offer their twisted viewpoints but they don't have any say in anything.
Like I said, if you don't have kids going to school, you don't need to pay.
That is such a dimwitted argument, like the rest of the taxpaying public don't derive a benefit from having people capable of counting change, fixing their car, maintaining their computer networks, or treating their fracking illnesses.
