Arm students - you're kidding, right? I can just see it, kids having shoot outs and showdowns at "High Noon." Ambushing each other, etc. Have you not learned anything from the Wild West's gun play days? Wherein criminals still committed their crimes though everyone was armed.
Also, do you really think that kids who commit these murders, as prepared and psyched up as they sometimes are, would not have prepared for "armed students," and teachers, had such been the norm?
There is no easy answer to this. Criminals being the conniving beings they are, adjust as well as we do.
