Also a reasonable argument that Uvalde could have been prevented by hardening the school, but it probably wouldn’t pass, and most Democrats including Bid3n are against it. How about other mass shootings? Would they have been prevented by using one of these methods ? It’s a “Hit and Miss” proposition.

I think there's a reasonable argument that Uvalde could have been prevented if so. He didn't purchase the gun until he was legally able to do so. Even if the legal age was 21, that could have prevented this. These lone wolf school shooter types don't have connections to the street market that gang members have.

It looks like quite a few companies manufacture AR-15s, so I assume nothing would be different in this hypothetical situation.
I would also have you consider Switzerland. All men fit for service, and women by volunteer, between the ages of 18-34 are issued a Sig Sauer SG 550, chambered in 5.56, 7.62, or 300 blk. Until 2010 they were required to keep their weapon in their home. The Swiss have shooting competitions for all kids aged 13-17. The last mass casualty from guns was 2001.People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. -Isaac Asimov

That's fair, and Im not really set on banning one particular weapon as a solution for that reason. I would prefer to increase the requirements to have these weapons.
Looking into Switzerland to answer the question of why they have less gun violence, which seems like a logical comparison.
It looks like they have what I would consider "common sense" gun laws that I would like to see here. Getting a permit-to-purchase approved by local police. Compulsory military service/training is one aspect that probably helps keep them safer although that isn't something as easy to translate to the United States. I think there would be value in having military quality training to possess military grade weapons.
I'm all for having a discussion on solutions. You seem to be in strong support of gun rights. Do you have any support for gun focuses laws or is that entirely a nonstarter?

People who know guns, know that there are lots of other options out there that would be just as bad. The media and left has demonized one caliber of gun. .22 caliber still has the most deaths per year. But the dumbass in Washington thinks that you can save someone who is shot in the lung by one but not someone shot by a 9mm.
Bad people will do bad things. Plain and simple. Mentally ill people are capable of lots of things. These people will use whatever they can find to create chaos and mass harm. Banning certain guns will never stop this.
We need to solve the mental illness problem before anything will change. And I would also be for getting rid of all the violent video games kids have access to. That never comes up any more, and it really should.

I think the answer to school shootings is to move the police precincts onto school property. I think teachers with the appropriate training and field tests can and should carry. I think Firearms 101 should be a required class to graduate HS. I think schools should allow video games during free time to monitor psychological tendencies, a la the computer game in Ender’s Game. I think FPS games available to kids contributes to pathological tendencies in kids with mental health problems. I think the lack of institutional care in mental health is a crying shame. I think psychotropic drugs contribute to nearly every mass shooting event that is not orchestrated by the alphabet LEOs.

Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.
