A teaching qualification is a degree course but the teaching profession is poorly paid. The kind of person that goes into teaching isn't doing it for money to begin with, so throwing more at them is the wrong answer to the wrong question.

If they are poorly paid they will welcome the extra money, for sure

It's not just extra free money though, is it? When US soldiers are killed in action, their families receive 100,000 USD, when teachers are killed in action, they are removed from school salary outgoings.

I would leave the profession rather than take on these extra duties. Trumps budget actually cuts money for school security.

The whole debate is absurd; the American people are strongly in favour of gun control and regulations, yet politicians being paid by the NRA are able to even prevent them having to debate it.

Arming teachers fails to attack the root cause of the problem. You can't just throw more guns into the mix and let everyone have an old weststyle shootout. Take the guns away from the people because they are unnecessary.

If the government wanted to kill every American citizen, there is not a thing they could do about it, even with all 370m guns in the country. They could just hide in their bunkers, and send drones/chemicals, so even the initial reason for allowing/encouraging them is outdated.

You have not long ago had an election and elected a very republican candidate so what you say obviously isnt quite true is it.

I'm not sure how you can link those 2 things. Elections are about more than one thing, and a lot of democrats actually live in fear of the NRA too. Republicans are more pro gun statistically, but if I wish to use your logic I could just simply point out that if the US was so pro-gun, then how has a post civil rights act Democrat ever been elected?
