For a little while I went to a school with armed guards and metal detectors. This was at a middle school. It sets a bad tone and I don't think middleclass parents would go for it. Plus it's a hassle.
The safest way is to keep guns out of vulnerable people's hands. Prevention is what we need, and we shouldn't just wait until a dude shows up in a parking lot with a gun. That's the problem with security, even though it adds some deterrence.
And there is no "live with the consequences" of your school not having armed guards and detectors. The government would have to up its grants. That shit is expensive.
