Two things are required to to have a school shooting:
1.) Someone who isn't mentally right wants to hurt classmates
2.) Access to firearms / ability to get them into a school
.... if either of the above items aren't present, no shooting occurs.
.... To me saying "We're just gunna be ready to shoot the shooter" isn't a good solution, its lazy. I think its universally agreed that any extra measures to keep guns from those who shouldn't have them will NOT effect responsible gun owners, correct? Then why not do those things - even if it stops one shooting, its worth it then right?
Those changes can come quickly... while that is happening address the mental health issue.

Because none of that is going to happen as quickly as protection would. After 9/11 we put up tons of security, not another high jacking since. Why on earth would anyone subjective & without an agenda be opposed to armed guards now, discussion & legislation to follow. It's because the left is holding the kids hostage, gun control now or nothing is their answer. Besides any of that, not one gun law the left advocates would have done jack to stop this shooting. It's almost like you guys continue to unwittingly make the argument against gun laws & for armed protection.
