Conservatism

Very strongly agree

Yes, schools should require at least one teacher or security guard to be armed

This answer aligns with the conservative belief in the importance of self-defense and the right to bear arms. Many conservatives support the idea of having at least one armed individual on school premises, whether it be a teacher or a security guard, to protect students and deter potential shooters. For example, the NRA has advocated for the 'School Shield' program, which includes armed security personnel in schools.

No, hire professionally trained security guards instead
