Within the realm of constitutional options, the most practical remedy I can think of would be to require that a certain number of teachers or administrators in each school be trained in the use of firearms and armed at all times. That would probably deter most school shooters. It is curious, but true, that even those killers who do not intend to survive their crimes never seem to open fire in the presence of another armed person. No one tries to shoot up a biker bar."It is curious, but true, that even those killers who do not intend to survive their crimes never seem to open fire in the presence of another armed person." Yeah, right. The 42 cops killed this year in America by gunfire? And the 67 killed last year? And the 59 killed the year before? The 1,132 cops killed by guns in the last 22 years? They were all killed by people who thinks cops don't carry guns in America.
Nobody ever shot a cop knowing that cop was actually armed! That couldn't possibly happen!
