Again, the arming of every teacher and janitor with WMD is not being advocated here.

How true.
And yes you can arm just certain segments of a group. It is done every day within our society. Every citizen in the majority of states is allowed to carry a gun for self defense. However only those certain segments of that group who complete the requirements man do so. (training, background check etc.) Pilots are allowed by federal law to carry however they must meet certain requirement one of which is for the parent airline to approve before they can do so.
I am advocating that ALL teachers and school staff be allowed to go armed if they are the segment of teachers and staff who meet the requirements for training and ability. In the current situation none, not even the well qualified are allowed.
There is a big difference in a total ban of a thing....NO firearms in school...
and the authorization for authority figures to go armed if qualified.
