A few educators, students and parents, and anti-gun policy groups, however, are deeply opposed to a campus culture with hordes of armed pupils, saying more guns would increase violence.

“If he decides to show up and talk to community, I’ll go and listen to what he has to say”, Magallanes says, “if he brings up anything out of sorts as far as the family goes, or this tragedy that has happened I’ll turn my back to him”. But for my daughter?
