Society complains about a nanny state yet advocates increased spending on the police in order to sort out every problem. If the teachers were allowed to arm themselves or at the very least fully armed security was present in every school those events would never occur. The amish would just have to accept their pacifism had drawbacks and relying on others to kill the gunman invariably leads to a delay in which greater harm can be done.
The guns aren't the problem, rather its the inequality in how and when they can be carried.
