Every solution to this problem offered has major flaws.

Guns in schools have to be operated by a highly trained shooter will to kill a human being to save lives. He has to be armed with the equivalent weaponry. So forget about teachers with handguns. At best it will save a few children after the good guy kills the bad one.

Lockdown schools. Is very expensive. Who will pay the costs?

Checkups to maintain a gun owners Mental competence to own a gun. Good luck with that.

Removing guns will take decades to apply.

Because the last civilised society that should own guns. Gives 18 years old the right to buy highly powered guns that are designed to kill.
