conservative politicians reacted with another push for arming school officials to protect students - a notion that has raised strong objections among teachers, researchers and gun control activists.

"We can arm and prepare and train teachers and other administrators to respond quickly, because the reality is we don't have the resources to have law enforcement at every school," Texas Attorney-General Ken Paxton told Fox News on Tuesday.

Mr Craig Bessent, assistant superintendent in Wylie Independent School District, was first trained in 2014 and, although the identities of marshals are usually withheld, he acts as a kind of programme spokesman. "I do carry my handgun on me, in a concealed fashion. If we have to react like in an instance that happened yesterday, we're always ready."

But while Mr Bessent says marshals in his district have responded to"lots" of issues, including with upset parents, he stressed they see themselves as a"de-escalating" force and have never discharged their weapons.

The insanity that guns are required for kids to be 'safe' in a learning environment.

You don’t use weapon against weapon in a school! The right thing to do is to stop selling guns!

Why not use arms like nukes?

straits_times More and more guns...

What happens when the teachers turn the arms on the kids? Arm the kids?

More guns more stray bullets. Yah right. Only in America.

Why not arm the kids then? This is not a video game. The lives lost cannot be resurrected.

straits_times The solution is always more guns 🤦‍♂️

straits_times Lol, and make the schools battle ground?
