...are generally not of the same mindset and makeup as security people, and I don't think arming them is a particularly good or viable idea. I do favor having dedicated, well trained, armed security personnel in schools though, as well as other measures to physically harden the premises.

As for raising the age to 21 to buy any firearm, on the face of it I'm not opposed to that either, but I think if they are going to do that, the age of majority needs to be raised to 21 as well. If at 18 you are not old enough to make an adult, responsible decision regarding an enumerated civil right, you probably aren't adult enough and responsible enough to be voting.
