Tolstoy's Ideas Applied to School Shootings

Having spent a substantial portion of my adult life studying Mahatma Gandhi and his teacher, Leo Tolstoy, I'd like to weigh in on their mind relative to school shootings.  Tolstoy's book, The Slavery of Our Times, indicates that a whole host of violence throughout the world comes through tax slavery, which comes from legislation, which comes from the existence of governments.  Governments, according to Tolstoy, are a manifestation of the powerful ultimately threatening to murder those who do not obey to their liking.  This creates a kind of resentment that ripples all over the earth.  The way some children respond to this is to attack the government closest to them:  government schools.  Both Gandhi and Tolstoy seem to allow for people being armed to protect students in the short-term;  however, the longer solution is for governments to withdraw, allowing a kind of Amish social order, but with modern conveniences, consistent with Mahatma Gandhi's village republic concept.
