Why are the only options
A) Gun Free Eutopia

Why is there not a middle compromise solution on both sides. Improved gun legislation is certainly a part of it. For sure. But improved criminal justice is (or should be) a part as well.

We can't even get bump stocks banned in this country. The only major move on the federal level was to undo a regulation that was put in place to keep guns out of those with severe mental illness. The country has spoken. These kind of weapons are more important than elementary school children. It's just the choice the country made.

With that said, what's the next step? Since guns are off-limits in any capacity, we have to find a solution for how schools can stop being such soft targets. Turning them into mini fortresses seems like the only solution. Albeit an incredibly expensive and embarrassing one.
