I know what you saying is true, but what can you do exactly? I don’t really see that it would create more bloodshed, because on this particular situation if the professor had a gun he could have saved more life by engaging the shooter. The shooters attention would have turned to the professor rather than the innocent students who would have nothing to defend themselves. By then, low enforcement will arrive and do the rest.
