Georgia School Considers Buying Assault Rifles
In case of mass shooting
A north Georgia school district is deciding whether to have small assault-weapon armories in its schools to be ready for a gunman attack.
Many Americans, of course, remain deeply disturbed about the prospect of arming school officials, and some studies have shown that armed school guards don't necessarily prevent or de-escalate school shootings. Yet what would have just a few years ago been a shocking plan to store semiautomatic assault carbines in the front office is now being considered seriously.

Is that wise in light of the Navy Yard?
it is at least better than being a target :/
Granted I think it is just wiser to have a few armed teachers 24/7
