They will find another way to attack.

How is that relevant when we're trying to defend against THIS kind of mass school shooting attack?

Fewer attacks or less bloodshed.
Fewer gallons or less water.

I think the law says school districts may allow arming of teachers and staff. South Florida will likely not go along with that.

It is a tenet of the Liberal Religion that it is much more righteous that many students be killed than that a teacher be armed or, even worse, shoot back. I am not being satirical. Liberals believe that it is not immoral for a killer to mow down a lot of people because the killer has mental health issues and is thus not responsible for his actions. It is highly immoral for a person to defend himself or others with violence because that person is acting rationally and is obviously not crazy and is therefore responsible for taking a human life. I have had this argument with liberal acquaintances, one a now deceased professor at UF. A liberal who thinks all the way through will even posit that those students and teachers who would have died had the killer not been stopped by a citizen with a gun should have died and are therefore wrongfully alive.

FEWER victims. Less victims would be inferior victims. If the noun being quantified is plural FEWER is correct. If the noun is singular LESS is correct i.e. Less water and fewer gallons of water.

It will be hard to undermine in Florida. Arming teachers will not be permitted in South Florida. It is a local option thing, I think.

Bombs are easier to detect beforehand and historically are less likely to to go actually bang than guns.

That’ll just be the opening salvo. The intellectual and rhetorical pretzels they will make will put the midway soft pretzel vendors to shame.

The media will spin that in spite of the teachers being armed there was still an attack.

Remember, with liberalism facts are irrelevant. It's all about the narrative.

Wonder why we're not hearing more about the most recent school attack?

The perps didn't fit the narrative. They were obama loving, Trump hating white kids...one was transgender.

Fewer attacks and less bloodshed. Attacker has skin in the game.

I am pretty sure that in my part of Florida some teachers have been carrying guns in school for a long time, the thought being that if they get fired and/or go to jail for having a gun after they have shot an armed classroom invader, they are at least alive.

Better to be judged by 12 (or fired) than carried by six...

Lesser would mean inferior.

True, less is used for uncountable quantities, and fewer for countable quantities. Fewer dollars, but less money. Since victims are countable, they could be fewer but not (except in an informal sense, which everyone understands) less.

So precisely what are you recommending as a remedy as you seem thoroughly intent on convincing us any action we take would be thwarted by shadowy ner-do-wells?

No. Again, I'm all for armed teachers in the schools.

My point is no matter what we do the Left wind media is going to spin it negatively.

We need to be prepared for that.
