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

Despite the desire for kids to protect themselves, carrying guns to school is not a viable solution. Allowing kids to carry guns could create an uneasy and unsafe environment and could increase the risk of injury and danger. Furthermore, it may not be a responsible option for kids who may not be mature enough to handle a firearm. Guns are not toys and should not be seen as a solution to every problem. Ultimately, it is better for students and teachers to prioritize safety and trust in an education system that is designed to prevent violence and support the emotional needs of students. This does not mean that gun ownership should be completely outlawed - there can be a balance between providing safety while respecting an individual's right to bear arms. But guns should not be allowed in schools, which is why there is a long list of items which are banned from being taken into schools.
