Immediately? Provide airport type security for schools.

Nonsense. So far, that hasn't worked at any school in the USA which employs airport-type security for schools.
@swirlie Baggage scans? Metal detectors? Random pat downs?

All meaningless in a school setting because there are too many points of entry including windows and so far in the USA, onsite security hasn't proven itself effective at curbing gun violence in schools.
@swirlie It’s fundamentally a society issue. Until America finds a way to care for and protect children and from themselves there are few options beyond military type security measures.

It may take a village to raise a child, so how do we do that when our villages are being dismantled? How do we do that with children left to raise themselves?

It's fundamentally a gun issue, not a society issue. No guns, no issues. It isn't rocket science, Heartlander.
@swirlie Disarming American citizens would simply empower our criminal population. Our cities with the strongest gun laws have the highest levels of gun related crime.
