Heck, even if a NFL linebacker came into a school as armed protection, there is no certainty that his gun can't be taken by a determined kid. A bat to the head while the linebacker isn't looking is all it takes. I knew a kid once who carried a hammerhead on a rope and kept the stuff in a pocket, it was lethal, he tried to hit me with it and just missed. If he had hit me, I was either dead on the spot, or alive with severe brain damage. The objective should be to keep dangerous kids out of regular schools and put them into specialized schools that are equipped to deal with their issues, not give them guns to kill others with.
