How much more would it cost to put armed guards in schools. The teachers are already there and being paid. With additional training, they can be qualified. Also, I suspect that many already have their own guns. I know I would.

It's not a question of how much it would cost. My point is about the institutional barriers to making it happen, whether the cost is $10.00 per/ea or $10,000 per ea. Parents with with permits and training could, in a vacuum, provide armed security for free ... but it would never be allowed.
