And there is the legal arguement that 99.99% of all firearm owners are law abiding citizens. Is it Constitutional to punish the majority for the crimes of a minority?
There is a solution to mass school shootings. Fortify the schools. Fences and surveillance cameras to be monitored by the local police who will have a nearby RRF. Police presence is required for school in and school out but not for the whole day. During the school day, entry and exits are to be controlled via single doors and the police can see who uses other doors and enact procedures if they see something wrong, ie order a lock down to the classrooms.
But here too, we cross into Constitutional Rights issues, namely the 4A. For this to be effective, the police would need to see everywhere, including the washrooms. Not necessary the toilets and urinals but who's in the room. The need to know where the shooter is would be a vital tactical intel.
Also, GS, we have to include gang related violence. These are the kids who are of school age with access to high capacity and at times, fully auto firearms.
