You're absolutely right- the only reason these dickless bastards go in and do these things is because they know with 100% certainty that they'll have full control and that no one will be there to stop them.
I actually think an armed guard is a little less effective than having armed faculty. Thinking about it- if there is an armed guard in full garb standing there, you know who you have to get out of the way.
Knowing one or more of your teachers or faculty members *may* be armed and not knowing for sure *who that could be* would be a far better deterrent.
Requiring anyone who wants to carry within 1000ft of a school is an excellent idea. Requiring everyone on school property to be defenseless is outright lunacy. You can't require the threat (the gunman) to do or not do SHIT.

One thing people who are proficient with firearms seem to think is that everyone can just be gun carrying commando. Teachers have a calling to be educators, not get into gunfights. I know a lot of teachers, and I can say that the idea of any of these women(and men) exchanging gunfire with a body-armored maniac is about as likely as seeing a unicorn run through my living room.
