I assume there will not be any mass shootings at that school, real or otherwise, if they are really doing that. (Even though the chances of that happening the first place is miniscule.)

Sure, anything can happen anywhere.

That's why it's important not to steal from me. I need my own money to prepare for life how I see fit.

Plus, stealing is bad. Kindergarten-level stuff right there.

LOL. they're just going to shove the problem around to other schools. Mostly because of perception. Shooter decides to shoot up school will just pick one that doesn't have them. If the shooter picks the school he attends though, and attends that one.....those security guards will be the first ones shot from behind with no warning. And if the shooter is smart they will grab the uniforms and any body armor.

1-2 armed guards wont cut it. 3-4 will. And they need to be in every school. Of course knowing American kids they will probably manage to get themselves shot by various armed guards as well. Fun times.

So this is wasteful. Its not enough to help, and all it will do is either arm the shooter better, or simply let them pick a different school.

Violence CAN solve problems. But the issue here is that insufficient potential violence is being used. More guards, in more locations, or its just a waste.

There have been very few school shootings at private schools. The most notable is the one at that Amish school, but they're pacifists and don't own guns.
