I agree and will add that in Texas, they leave it up to the individual school districts who to allow to carry on campus. They had the one school officer who was first to confront the shooter and he got taken out pretty quickly. I don't think there was anyone else armed in the school. The town is so small, they probably only had a few police officers anyway and that's why they had to call in border patrol.
Why don't these psychos shoot up parks full of kids? Or shoot up neighborhoods with lots of young kids? Crowded beaches? I think it's because of concealed carry. Heck even in Washington state you're allowed to conceal carry without a permit if you do something recreational such as going to the park. Shooters (and clowns) know schools are minimally protected. They know they can drive up the kill total since kids are trapped inside classrooms. The whole situation is too perfect for mass casualties.
It took one attack to get TSA in airports (not that I'm advocating for TSA in schools). But if politicians really cared about a solution, rather than always having a "talking point against guns", they would do something like mandate armed protection for schools instead of sending $50B to Ukraine.
