List of the Cons of Arming Teachers:
1. The presence of a gun raises the likelihood of its usage.
The events of Columbine over two decades ago are usually treated as the start of the school shooting era in the United States. There are far too many acts of gun violence that happen in American society already. Multiple studies show that when there is a firearm present anywhere, even in the home, then it is more likely to be used as a weapon. One-third of gun deaths are homicides, which is a rate that is 25 times higher than that of any other high-income country. Women are 21 times more likely to be killed with a gun in the U.S. than in any other nation.
Bring a firearm into the classroom, even in the hands of a trained user, means that this tool is more likely to be used simply because of its presence. Could this be an advantage if it stops a shooter? Of course, it is. This tool could also be used to harm others.
Armed adults frequently mishandle their guns in schools. Arming teachers wouldn't decrease risk to students - it would increase their risk. Our comprehensive analysis finds there have been more than 70 publicly reported incidents of mishandled guns at schools in the last five years.

GUN LAWS SAVE LIVES:
The research is clear: gun laws work. The nation’s courts agree: gun laws are fully compatible with the Second Amendment. And the American people have spoken: our weak gun safety laws are killing nearly 40,000 Americans every year. Something must change. https://giffords.org/lawcenter/gun-laws/
