Somewhat agree but where are they supposed to go if there is a gunman outside their door? I'd have had the kids go out the window if possible. We know the building was U shaped but we don't know if this school had windows. Too many schools these days don't have windows and if they do, they can't be opened and are reinforced. It's crazy not having windows that open. Fresh air would increase alertness so the kids would learn more and there would be less flu epidemics but that's another topic.

My answer is such a solution risks being shot in the back through the window used as an escape. The Romans knew, and it was part of their law, “Force may be met with force.”
In modern terms, that means armed citizens are the only ones on the scene of the crime and able to respond in time to save any lives. Donut munchers from some gubment police force can’t be on scene when needed.
“It is the right and duty of the citizen to be at all times, for in such manner is tyranny kept in check.”
The Founders knew this, but commies and cowards want to cower while better men/women than they protect them. Or so they claim.
What those wanting to infringe American 2nd Amendment guarantees actually want is to enslave the unarmed, a pattern repeated endlessly throughout history.
Switzerland, and then America, were the only exceptions to the long history of violent domination of the masses by kings, warlords, dictators, ad nauseam.
