But, what happens in the future, when the children and adults are shot dead in every one of our hometowns and where we now live? When is the problem so large that it can't be ignored?

We already went over the solution. You just don't agree to the answer. The solution to protecting the innocent and defenseless is to harden physical security. Cheaper than almost any other solution. Arming the teachers is not very feasible, as many do not like firearms, therefore probably not very gun-literate. However, in my opinion if one trusts teachers with the mental and physical safety of their children, why would they have a problem with a CCW qualified teacher carrying a firearm? Eliminating the 2nd Amendment will not stop murder. And if someone is naive enough to believe that banning certain types of guns will solve their problem, it won't and they are just living in a fantasy world. Once you ban one type of weapon, it only gives an opening to justify banning other weapons and then other types, etc. Yes, it would happen. Americans are not naive and know how an inch becomes a mile, especially/ESPECIALLY when it comes to overreach.
Remember, when one person can shoot 21 people with a bolt action rifle from a tall building, then banning certain type of weapons won't eliminate murder.
