Yes. Bringing guns to a situation leads to a non-zero chance that they'll be used inappropriately in that situation. Armed teachers will have a gun in the school day-in, day-out. Teachers aren't exactly best and brightest these days, and they can put under a lot of stress having to effectively babysit shitty kids/teenagers. Having more guns in that situation doesn't sound responsible.

Yeah, but the same's true of just about any country. If you discount the hotspots in South Africa, the violence goes way down. If you discount the hotspots in Philippines, the violence goes way down. Gun bans are a reaction of the violent hotspots. How about looking at the deeper causes that create the violent hotspots in the first place?
