Solution: Mandate public school teachers to not only carry, but as part of their teaching requirements train with these weapons multiple times a year to become comfortable and proficient in them. Teachers who do not want to put their student's lives first will have to look for another job or work at a private school. These school shooters are fucking cowards. They only attack people and groups they know are going to be easy targets. If they knew that every public school teacher was mandated to be protectors that can lawfully use deadly force, these already very statistically low school shootings would almost never happen.
Now let me rant about guns, because like all school shootings they become political tools to bitch about guns. The 2nd amendment exists for a reason. It does not exist for collecting guns, for the fun of shooting guns, or for hunting with guns. It exists so that if the government becomes an ACTUAL TYRANNY then the people can rise up en mass and fucking kill the tyrants and reinstate the Constitution. That's it. 17 dead people is nothing compared to millions that would be slaughtered if we (or our children) had to deal with an actual tyrannical US government. By and large, people in this country are soft and weak. They do not like to think about having to defend themselves or others in a life or death situation. Violence and death will never go away, they are inherent to the human experience, so stop cowering and hoping it will go away. It will not. Instead learn to fight, learn to protect yourself, and if you ever find yourself in the awful situation where deadly force is necessary, show them no mercy, because they will surely show you none.
