Well the reality is. Guns aren't going anywhere.
We can debate it until doomsday but it's just not happening
So in my opinion the next best solution is just to secure the school so the shooter can't make it on to the property in the first place
No one gets into the building without an ID and walking through a metal detector
Emergency exit doors that only open from the inside etc

maybe its what they are teaching in school?
Or one person did it then they all copied. Target practice?
The US has 'right to bear arms' embedded in their consitution while other countries dont have this particular thing, so having a gun and shooting it must be super important to them.
Sikhs need to carry a knife, but doesnt seem like theres lots of stabbing incidents in their schools. Who knows?

But I‘m glad that despite human stupidity no one (so far) has attempted to start a global war using the ultimate weapon : the nuclear bomb.
Yes USA used it in Japan a couple of times when no one had it and pandora‘s box was unleashed And moral lessons evaluated.
I guess even the most stupid realize that no one would win in a nuclear war.
And I’m sure there are those Especially in radical Muslim countries who would love to start one and watch the world burn.

Sweden is one of the most secular countries in the world and has astronomically lower violence than we do here in America, maybe there's a correlation between secularism and lower violence but I guess that's another topic
I don't think America is the only country with liberal gun laws but we seem to have a unique problem with gun violence
I honestly don't know the solution but, as you mentioned, I think people should actually have to be trained to use a firearm safely before being allowed to carry one. Because handing just any Yahoo a gun with no training is a liability

From what I understand the incidents in purple are incidents that are not necessarily school related, and just happened on school grounds. From a murderer's perspective, school is a pretty convenient place to kill somebody- you don't have to go looking for them, and your victim will be almost completely defenseless- because for the most part, nobody there will have a weapon.
Accident related incidents happen because someone was being a moron with a firearm. LACK OF DISCIPLINE. Schools don't teach people about guns, so people often grow up without firearm discipline.
School Targeted: these are the incidents that I think of as "school shootings"- lashing out against society, they kill people at the school without discrimination. Without justifying these shooters in any way, I believe that public schools dehumanize young people and create their own monsters.
Suicide: There's probably nothing worse for someone with mental health issues than the godless hellscape of American Educational Institutions.
THEREFORE; the solution, I believe, is very simple, but there are too many people that wouldn't like it.
Stop letting schools be such a convenient place to murder someone. Have better security. "but we don't want the children to feel unsafe".... so, what do you do? You dilude them into thinking the school doesn't need security because it's inherently sooooo safe? That's retarded. The world is a dangerous place. They want to know they are safe because they are being KEPT SAFE because people will FIGHT BACK MURDERERS for them, and they are not just being herded up to be slaughtered.
FIREARM INSTRUCTION- People should be instructed in their fundamental rights; but schools would rather prey upon you by keeping you in a victim mentality. Then some people go into law enforcement or the military, or private security and it is the first time they have ever practiced with or handled firearms. That isn't how this country was meant to operate.

The student-teacher ratios need to be lowered now. I really don't care what the excuses are for why it hasn't been done, or why it "can't be done", we need to bypass the bureaucracy, cut the red tape, and get it done.
Suicides- so, suicide is a complicated subject; but a lot of these school-shooters kill themselves after they kill their victims. I'd wager some of the suicide-victims who didn't kill others at least contemplated killing other people along with themselves: this is at least partially attached to the red commentary above.
While school-systems are supposed to be this thing that helps young people grow into adults, I find there are a lot of ways in which the school-systems play a part in agitating mental-health problems. Ultimately, I think the way we do education needs a complete overhaul- but lowering the student-teacher ratios in schools is a start.
