Why is everyone's solution to spend tons more money on hardening schools and adding more paid law enforcement?
The solution is and always has been to keep bad guys from getting guns. It's much cheaper than hardening every public place. Why do you want to make school a prison? Barbed wire fences, one door, armed police or guards, etc. That's literally prison. Kids shouldn't have to deal with that. They should be able to go to a happy and pretty school campus and not be shot by a crazy male American. This means making guns harder to purchase, period! If you only harden schools, how are you going to do the same to every other public space like stores, theaters, stadiums, etc. You aren't. Again, it's back to guns.
