You are in the classroom last Monday. He is in the hallway, shooting. Name another.<<

Bill -

First, there are many non-lethal weapons that can stop a human being in his tracks. So that's another set of options right there.

Second, as horrible as this shooting was, such incidents are really very, very rare. To respond to them with a massive proliferation of firearms throughout the country in all settings would be a huge overreaction, and it would be likely to exacerbate many other problems.
