Require mental health professionals to report people who might be dangerous. Enforce laws that restrict gun access for people under domestic violence restraining orders. Ban large capacity ammunition magazines. And as Velvet mentioned above, give training to teachers to identify the problem kids who might have a propensity for gun violence, and work with the kids to possibly prevent a mass killing.

I keep thinking that our elected officials are under the same restraints as are on TOTV.......that is.....
do not talk about it, because that might be the beginning of finding solutions.
