Of course, this would obviously increase the number of actual shootings. Most predictably accidental shootings and suicides, but also other kinds of shooting deaths as well (an example: Florida is a "Stand Your Ground" State, would a physically smaller teacher be within their rights to shoot a larger student advancing at them in a menacing fashion?).
The only long-term solution to firearm deaths is firearm restrictions. If the US actually wants to solve this issue, it begins with the repeal of the 2nd Amendment and nothing else is worth talking about because it's just window dressing.
If repeal of the 2nd Amendment is not on the table, then all other discussions are pointless as they will have no measurable impact.

This almost just describes America as a whole - a country so well-armed nobody would invade, but where the people shoot each other all the time too.
