Considering the political divide around this point as something that will not be resolved anytime soon, there should be a long term 'temporary' solution.
And I fucking hate it. As much as I support 2A, I also understand the danger posed by "adult" men; I'm fully in support of raising the age for males to purchase semi-auto firearms to 21, or even 25. I emphasize firearms because it's not just long rifles that can cause these travesties.
I don't think that impugns on 2A, personally. Also, waiting periods. Someone who wants a gun for home defense is probably fine with waiting for 3 months. Someone who wants a gun to shoot someone is probably not.
Obviously there are exceptions to every rule, but all we can do is mitigate.
Schools should be fenced and gated with one or two armed guards depending on the size of the school.
In Israel every school and public kindergarten has an armed guard and it's been 30 years since a shooting incident in a school. Just the potential for such a terrible event is enough to ensure public support.
It's not perfect but usually guards are enough to deter potential troublemakers, sending them off to find an easier target.
OTOH most terrorists aren't as well equipped as American homegrown wackos.
In 30 years, every school in the West will have armed guards.
100% and I hate it, but then again there's not much about the modern world I don't.
There's too many of us, and we're letting too many slip through the cracks, and it's undermining the foundations... I don't know the answer.
I just don't know.
