These answers are anonymous due to the sensitive topic.
“Metal detectors before you go into school and more school resource officers at schools.”
“Definitely the government needs to do something about assault gun ban, and the shootings are caused by issues with mental health, and they need to do something about checking with mental health.”
“Get a better security system.”
“Stop making assault guns and giving them to young kids/ young adults who are mentally ill.”
“The productions of being able to sell guns to absolutely anyone.”
“Having mental health background checks.”
“Having cops in school.”
“Having stricter gun laws, and stop focusing\\ on drag shows for children and actually do something about school shootings.”
“They should be more aware of all mental health with teachers and students.”
“No guns should be able to be sold that fast of a process, anyone with mental health could easily be able to get a gun and boom.”
“Government needs to actually do something with gun laws or making schools safer with security, or making sure the schools are being aware of a humans mental health.”

In my opinion, we need to focus on mental health and increased security. If we ban ALL gun sales, we will still have pre-banned firearms that will be nearly impossible to get rid of. I personally believe that the tools don’t matter, it’s the person’s mental stability; if we do ban the sale of guns, the mentally ill will still find a way to hurt someone. (ex. stabbings in the UK where guns are banned.) The banning of sales will probably not do much of an effect as criminals or violent beings will still find a way to get their hands on a firearm, (via illegal selling, smuggling a firearm into the country, or having a pre-banned weapon)
It is a tough topic to tackle but I think if we unite we can solve it.
