I have an actual solution to stop specifically School Mass Shootings:
Given that pull/reset of a trigger takes about a second, and there are roughly 20 students per classroom: it takes roughly 20 seconds for a Perfect Shooter to clear a classroom.
A break glass in case of emergency knife rack with 20 daggers in it, by the teacher's desk. The alarm sounds, everyone grabs a dirk. When he busts in, they rush him. Easy to practice drills. How many holes can you poke in 20 seconds? How many holes can 20 children poke?
"But some kids won't want to plunge a Bowie knife into the bad guy." It doesn't matter. If One is not willing to save themselves, then One is choosing to die. If One has chosen to die, then charging the bad guy with a knife could attain that goal. It is in everyone's interests (regardless of what those interests are) to engage at the doorway.
During the day-to-day, if a bad egg student ever breaks into the knife rack, then the school resource officer still has a clear range advantage with his firearm. This method allows the students to protect themselves with less risk than putting guns in classrooms.
The deterrent effect is incredible. Show me an 18 year old brave enough to risk being cut to ribbons by a swarm of third graders. Taking the easy way out gets a lot harder.
