Increasing the actual rate of armed citizens is the best way to have someone available to counter a nihilistic rampage killer.
The fact that they seek out groups can be used against them.

If the actual armed rate were a mere 3%:
-In a random group of 23 people, it is more likely than not that at least 1 person is armed.
-In a random group of 100 people, there is a 95% probability that at least 1 person is armed.
-In a random group of 10 people, there is still a 1 in 4 chance that at least 1 person will be armed.


Finding an able and willing 3% is not a problem.
The problem is "defenseless victim" zones.
