That is what New Zealand and ALL other 1st world countries PROVED...........except the US.

I have to wonder why you're against protecting children. The only solution I keep reading is to slow down the killer. Given the average response time for Law Enforcement is 12 minutes how many casualties are acceptable?
It is much more cost effective to harden the schools. That doesn't mean barbed wire and Dobermans. That means taking measures like a few schools have done. There is a fantastic plan implemented by a school in Indiana that stops a killer from accessing children. Florida has implemented the Guardian program in 60% of the schools so far. And of course, as we saw at Greenwood Mall recently, a good Samaritan citizen, armed and trained, stopped the killer in 15 seconds.
What is really the agenda then? Stop killers in their tracks and protect innocent people or disarm law abiding citizens. Those are the two choices.
