What is necessary if you want to neutralize that threat? A human being with a gun.

There is always the potential deterrent that knowing teachers are armed might have. If, like you say, someone is thinking of shooting up a school and knows there are armed people in the school they might think otherwise. There is also a part of me that thinks these people are fucked up enough that they won't really care then the question becomes one of whether or not the armed teachers did any good.
