Don't think small, think big. If there wasn't a no gun policy on the campus, and anyone, including teachers could have been armed, would the shooting still have occurred? More times than not, having a firearm is a deterrent, rather than a solution.
I've already said it and I'll say it again. These people are cowards. If there is any indication that they will get dropped before bagging a single body, their motivation is minimized. The more bodies, the more validation they receive from the media. No bodies, they're just a failed gunman, page 6 for a day, and then everyone forgets.
By removing all reward, and maximizing risk, you stop the shooting before it even occurs.
