Everyone having guns is actually a fairly effective deterrent of crime because the second someone pulls a stunt like this, they're getting riddled with bullets.
Which is why countries with very few guns like Japan and northern Europe are riddled with crime - oh wait.
Anyway, this sucks. Terrible for any school to go through this once, let alone twice.
