Please put aside any "stop putting it on the news" solutions, as those are illogical and will not happen.
While illogical, it indeed would help if a possibility. These type of people don't mind being remembered as a monster, so long as they are remembered. And the type of publicity these events supply, pretty much sees this happening.
Simply put, I have no ideas, or ideas that would actually be feasible. Sure, security for schools is a possibility, but that is additional payroll for a potentially risky job. Risky jobs usually require higher pay as a compensation for the risks involved. And where a schools budget is usually strapped as it is, it would be hard to fund.
Stricter regulations? Maybe, but if these types of events still happen, people will wonder where they went wrong, leading to radical; or just plain idiotic laws beings passed. If people really want a gun, they will find a way to obtain one no matter what.
In the end of the day, these are people that needed attention in more ways than one to stop them from breaking. And this type of action requires friends, family, and sometimes outsiders like teachers or aids to make that effort. Sadly, we live in a society where people are rather isolated in their worries, a lot of us are certainly guilty of this; myself included.
As life has taught me though, even if we did this, there will always be an exception. Random violence cannot be stopped, as some of these people will snap no matter what happens to help them. We can only hope the warning signs are spotted before they do anything dire.
All this said, it's late here, and I don't feel like getting into a deep discussion tonight. So this will be my only 2-cents in this topic.
