There's a healthy fear to knowing a snake will bite you. When you look at that snake, you may think it would make an easy snack or it would be perfect boot material, but you're not going to just walk up and take it, unless you have a gun. If everyone had a gun, we would all be snakes except the people in this analogy wouldn't have guns so you're strike would actually be a deterrent, or maybe the snakes would all have guns.
I've heard people talk about letting teachers carry guns to school which sounds like a good idea on the surface, but most teachers are small framed women (in my district), and in high school they could possibly be overcome and have their guns be used against them which would definitely be a problem in some of the bad school districts. Teachers in those areas tend to be a bit larger, so maybe it wouldn't be quite as bad, but still, it seems like a better solution would be to have patrols with guns and dogs by licensed carriers with registered skills and room lockdown alarms that would lock all doors in the school in case of emergency. I need to think that one through a little bit because there are some problems with the plan, but guns make people respect you even if you don't deserve that respect.
Forced respect is the definition of society.
