Depends on how well trained they are....
(thats an area where I differ from some... I think everyone should get both extensive training in gun safety and usage, the legal aspects, and general self defense training. I think if students had active training and planning for emergency situations, they might not be 'deer in the headlights' so often.
I also think there's so much effort to be spent in mental health arenas, economics, and general cultural sensibilities that 'gun control' is just an inadequate patch of a much bigger problem. When I was in high school, we had a pistol and rifle club ... students routinely brought rifles to school in their car because they were going hunting or target shooting afterward... and guess what? No one got shot. .... ... mental health, values, cultural sensibilities, community participation, economics)
