I personally am in the arm the teachers camps. I think every school in America should have at least 2 armed guards and allow teachers the option of carrying a gun, as long as they meet a very high level of scrutiny.
But I digress. Like everything this will be an issue that neither side will ever take action on, despite the fact that politician, Hollywood and the uber rich kidās private schools are all heavily protected with multiple trained armed guards.
Why not start with arming teachers with less than lethal projectiles.
XREP: Is a projectile shot through a gun, but hits a person like a every intense stun gun.
How the Taser Shotgun Shell Works
Upside: It will take and subdue any would-be shooter.
Downside: needs to be shot through a shotgun, so hard to store safely and canāt be carried. Range is an issue. And it has a higher than normal lethal rate.
Tranquilizer Gun:
Everyone knows what these are. They are used to take down feral dangerous animals within secs. Many much larger than humans. Could be an option.
Upside:
Takes out the target in seconds. Shoot like a gun and can come in handgun form.
Downside:
Dose will vary on target. If you dose it for a normal 20 yr old level you might kill a 16 yr. if you dose it for a 16 yr old, if might not take down a larger person. Usually single shot and while can be carried it is much larger than normal handgun.
Teachers need to be armed in some way, but non-lethal projectiles is better than nothing.

Not needed. Kids are safe in schools. Schools are pretty much the safest places for kids as they are now.
This is a solution in search of a problem which has been thrust into the forefront by nutbags wanting to make use of a tragedy to put more guns in places where they are not needed.
More guns in a given place means a higher likelihood of innocent people being shot.
