Why wouldn't we want more kids to carry guns to school to protect themselves? Shouldn't kids be allowed to protect themselves?

Carrying guns to school is an inherently dangerous idea and is not recommended as it increases the risk of unintentional shootings or violence in schools. Kids should have the right to protect themselves, but safe alternatives such as martial arts or self-defense classes can provide the same protection without risking safety or lives.  Instead, parents and guardians should educate their kids about gun safety and proper handling, as well as the risks of carrying a weapon to school. Additionally, school officials can also take proactive steps to ensure the safety of their students by implementing better security measures or providing additional support staff or mental health services.
