Because it is not practical to arm-guard everything of value from otherwise low probability threats, plus no matter how much effort you put into securing and guarding they have to succeed only once. Even presidents get shot, what chance does average person has?

Any given school is extremely unlikely to suffer a shooting. At the same time, school shootings on a national level are impossible to prevent. The only logical conclusion is to lessen impact of the shootings. Reducing deadliness of guns available to everyone is one approach to meet this goal.
