If guns made a country safe, we should be the safest country on Earth. Now, because we have too many guns, your answer to the problem is more guns. There's an irony there. I'm sure your son's a great guy, but most teachers are teachers because they aren't really drawn to things like police work. Would they shoot someone to defend their students? Yeah, probably. But is that really necessary? I mean with that logic, every workplace in America ought to have a gun in it. And of course, some nuts would be saying "Right on". But that's a crazy way to live, and most people aren't actually looking forward to living in armed camps. And don't get me started on what would happen the first time a teacher or administrator went nuts and shot up the school (or a student got the school gun)- and don't tell me that won't happen. If we wanted to live in arm camps, there are certainly places we could move to. I'd rather not live in one, or work in one.
