And in Pearl, the gun the assistant principal used had to be retrieved from his car; it was not the in school.

How do you prevent them from chaining exit doors and firebombing the school with gasoline? What law prevents it?

Like I said, you can't stop these things completely. The "what ifs" can go on forever. What if the assistant principal in Pearl who got his gun out of his car had been the first person the shooter killed?
The problem is that all too often the "what law could possibly work?" line stops the discussion. The answer is "I don't know. Let's put lots of informed heads together and see what we can figure out."
