Criminals adapt their behavior.
Normalizing drones around places like movie theaters, churches, hospitals, schools, concerts, stores, etc. would just invite psychopaths to add their's into the mix.
Some military bases uses them but that is as defense against enemy uses of drones.

Drones are a way to normalize mass shooting. It escalates the violence, it doesn't prevent it. When you "harden the doors" they'll just use weapons that can shoot through doors, or acids that can burn locks. When you send in heavily-armored guards, you'll encourage shooters to bring guns that have ammunition that can pierce armor. When you bring in drones that can detect shooters, you give shooters incentive to become better at hiding themselves, making it harder to detect them.
No - that isn't the solution. The solution is to REDUCE RISK of shooters existing in the first place. Universal background checks is a good start.
