Except no teacher in Israel is actually armed and there are no guns in any classroom, instead Israeli law requires schools to have armed guards specifically trained in handling firearms. Also Isreali gun laws make it exceedingly difficult for anyone to actually obtain a gun, in fact using many of the restrictions you people say don't work. This is in addition to the fact that Israel has mandatory military service meaning every citizen is trained in proper firearm technique and safety.

Devil advocate... more training and more guns=less crime? Nearly 9% of the Israeli population is active in the military and carrying an "assault rifle" in public at all times and armed guards at school campuses. It sounds like it isn't restrictions working, but precisely what some are saying will work: a public show of force.
