If anyone has an darned good self defense training, especially with firearms, they should be doing what you say exactly. You hide or GTFO dodge if there's an active shooter. You're not going to be a hero and just as likely to end up shot. Especially if they're using a long arm over your compact carry.
You nail the second part as well, the fog of war situation. I've had this argument in real life and it took a bit for the person to understand you can't ID the shooter if everyone with a gun tries to converge on them.
Gun ownership isn't a right, it's a privilege that carries heavy responsibilities. It's a cultural view of firearms that differs heavily. I'm more likely to trust a leftist who trains, doesn't exclaim everywhere they own a firearm, and locks up what needs to be locked up. The entire home invasion thing is a myth, majority that end up in a home with someone there bail. Few try to fight because they don't know what you might have.
