Then the kids ALL would have survived. There might be 1 or 2 adult deaths. There might be 3 or 4 adults shot, but not dead.
Nations without guns still have violence!
In China a man sliced up more kids then this guy shot!
Take away guns and you will see gun deaths fall and knife deaths rise. Blunt force trauma will rise. People intent on killing are going to kill even if they don't have a gun to do it.

Clearly more guns and a shootout between teachers and this psycho is a much better scenario in the mind of you gun nuts than thinking about how maybe this could have all been prevented if this psycho didn't have easy access to guns. I don't know about you, but I'd rather take my chances with someone armed with a knife than a bunch of guns, but hey.
It's bad enough for a civilized country to have their citizens armed to their teeth. It's even worse for people to romanticize the whole idea of guns like many in America do. One day this will change. Just like slavery, the rights of women, segregation, etc. It may not be in my lifetime but eventually it will and this neanderthal ideology will become a crazy minority rather than the norm.
