In reference to option 2 - I don’t see how arming school administrators disincentivizes suicidal people. It’s obvious that dying is a big part of the point for many of them, which you go on to point out in option 3.

I think you make a reasonable point, but it's worth mentioning that most of them don't end up dying, they shoot until someone returns fire and then they give up. Returning fire quicker should obviously be a part of the overall package.

If their objective was just to die there's plenty of better ways to do that.

They want to go out with a High Score, so people remember their name and their anger at the world.

If the dipshit gets drilled before he can kill anyone, he doesn't get what he wants, and other dipshits will see this and change their minds.

It may very well not disincentivize suicidal school shooters. But it could very well end their attack sooner. It's a multilayered approach.
