Fine if you choose 14 minutes for yourself but you shouldn't force your decision on others who decide differently.

Perhaps I'm missing something - but didn't this shooting take place in Tennessee? A state with extremely permissive gun regulations - allowing permitless carry, IIRC? And in a private school - which in Tennessee is allowed to authorize guns on campus?

No one was prohibiting the school from arming, if they wanted. The reason that they weren't armed to the teeth isn't because someone "forced" their decision on them. It's almost certainly because it doesn't make any sense to have large numbers of loaded guns in elementary school classrooms.
