   The fact that the police and FBI knew about the kid, his mother called the school to warn them the day of, there were at least two armed cops (sorry, "resource officers") stationed at the school, and somehow a 14-year-old still managed to walk in with an assault rifle, kill four people, and injure a bunch more suggests that the "we need more cops", "it's about mental health not guns", and "let's arm school officials" people may all, in fact, be incorrect.

     The options are:
     1. Accept that kids are just gonna get randomly shot in school.
     2. Construct and operate our schools like prisons.
     3. Stop giving everyone guns.

     If we were any other country, the answer would be both immediate and obvious.
