I think it’s time to stop tinkering with distractions and get on with it. The United States has a harmful and stupid law enshrined in its constitution, that law is the problem, and the sooner it’s repealed the better. You’d also have to hire about 100000 ATF agents to go door to door to get rid of those 300 Million guns already there. And expect about 10000 Ruby Ridge situations. With of course many tens of thousands of LE and gun owners dead. The casualty count would exceed the school shootings by many, many times. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-hardened-schools-prevent-mass-shootings/814617)._
