(17,493 posts)1) Improve the NICS background check system to insure information about those who should not be allowed to purchase a firearm is accurate and input into the data base in a timely manner.
2) Insure that if someone notifies a law enforcement agency about a potentially dangerous individual it is not ignored.
3) When an individual is busy waving as many red flags as the recent high school shooter has over the last few years make sure he isnt armed to the teeth and get him some good mental health counseling and treatment. It seems EVERYBODY involved at the local level was well aware this guy was a serious risk.
4) Improve school security by limiting access points to a few checkpoints. implement chipped ID cards and readers. Insure schools have adequate well trained armed security present. While this would mainly be done at the local and state level, the federal government might supply funding.
None of these ideas would be impossible to implement and they could be accomplished in a reasonable time frame. Of course there are other solutions to consider but they would be controversial and most would be hard to pass in Congress. Consequently they would not happen overnight.
