    Go on then. Let's condense and review.

    1 through 6, 8 through 10, 12, 13, 22, 39, 40, 49 and 50 are all obviously the same, arm every living person to the teeth. Give everybody, their grandmother, and their toddler baby, a gun, gotcha.

    7, 27 and 46 is lol, Policemen already exist, get universally praised and an insane amount of resources and did nothing to help. So those will have to be just chucked out.

    11, 19, 21, 23, 24, 26, 31, 32, 33, 35 through 38, 43, 48 I'm afraid all fall under the blanket of "What the fuck are you talking about", they're mind-bogglingly irrelevant or too nonsensical to implement, chuck 'em.

    13 through 18, 28, 30, 41, 42, and 45, turn all schools into a metal fortress of solitude/army base/prison. Because we all know nobody dies in internal battles in army bases and prisons.

    29 is just funny. Yeah, let's do it. I want to see a would-be bad man come all prepared and be like "whoopsie" and he falls over and crisis averted.

    34, 44, 47. Though 44 is based in conservative swill, the overall sentiment is 'Maybe people shouldn't feel like they have to do this?', so with generous interpretation, we can grant these as sensible!

    We're left with

    1. Give everybody (including children) guns and gun training
    2. Make schools into army bases/prisons.
    3. Why not tripwires?
    4. Mental health care.

    Given 1 and 2 are perhaps prohibitively expensive, impractical, and guarantee worsening the situation, I suggest sticking with number 4. Maybe 3 too if that fails.

    There we go, 3/50 ain't a bad agreement rate for Fox.

      The school already had 1 through 6 and they weren't helpful.

      In fact I was just looking through a list of unsuccessful school shootings and it's incredibly rare for the attack to be foiled after it already began. The only times I'm seeing where the shooter is apprehended before they kill anyone are:

      • Another student informed a cop or teacher about the shooter's plans weeks ahead of time
      • The weapon jammed or failed to detonate
