Re: It's not like the movies.
"Asking members of the public to abandon their own safety and go hunting someone armed with an assault rifle"
That's a bad plan. The smart thing is for each teacher to defend their class... and let the attacker come to you. There is no charging in ... the defender is there already, and already at risk due to the attack. Arming them reduces the effective risk, rather than counting on a surge of self-sacrificial bravery in a police officer or security guard properly trained in careful, risk-reducing tactics rooted in an overwhelming response that requires time to put in place.
