Best Ways to Prevent Future Massacres

My wife and I have been arguing all morning about these issues. Please opine on which policies would help and also be Constitutional...

1) The media shouldn't be aggrandizing 24hrs a day - this is like an advertisement for all other mentally disturbed individuals on how you can go out in a blaze of glory where people will be talking about them for years to come.
2) Better secured doorways in schools. It wouldn't cost much at all to fortify exterior doors with bars that are easily opened from the inside only. This alone would have stopped this from happening. Period.

you would have to go beyond just the doors. I think installing shatter proof windows would also help.

No gubmint of any kind is going to stop a sick twist from senseless murder.

As in the days of Noah, violence filled the earth.

assign soldiers to each school, bring them home from overseas, and/or hire unemployed veterans to guard schools.

Note the OP’s admonishment that the suggestions be Constitutional.

More comprehensive mental health policies and gun owners ensuring their firearms are secured at all times are good places to start.

Exactly... if it isn't a shooting at a school, it's at a mall, and if not the mall, some fast food joint, and if not there, some bar... it matters not where.

There's nothing worse in solving a problem then to have a bunch of knee jerk reactionaries all frothing at the mouth. They just make matters worse.

I say arm the teachers that are willing to be armed. Give them training on how to use a pistol and have them pack. Had ONE PERSON in this office the crazy walked into had a gun, they could have skull shot him there saving all those lives. I think the simple fact that anyone thinking of doing something like this would know that one of the first people they run into could shoot them dead, they might not think it's such a good idea. They do these things because they know they CAN. They know they can walk in there and just shoot people like shooting fish in a barrel, unopposed. That should change. Fight fire with fire.

You'd rather they be easy targets for some crazed assassin?

Use you head once instead of just spewing your tired, clueless, liberal sass.

Totally agree with keeping the guns in a safe. But I'm not sure what your "comprehensive mental health" policies are???

Lets say for a start "people with "aspbergers" disease could never own or be allowed to use guns. Same for those with IQ's less than ___ for starters. Is that what you mean? Or are we going back to asylums and lobectomies??

Here are a few suggestions.

1. Mandatory lobotomies for all citizens.

2. Outlaw guns, insanity, stupidity, and ill will towards other people.

3. Insert cameras and a microphone into all citizens in order to keep an eye on them 24/7.

4. Or we all gather together and drink cool aide, Jim Jones style.

If you follow any one of these no more mass shootings.

This may sound naive....but love one another.
People with love in their heart do not kill others and people that do not feel loved hurt others.

Hurt people..hurt people.
