In the chaos of a school shooting, how will the police id the shooter from an armevery d teacher? Loading and unloading at school? Negligent discharges at school?

People seem to be “grasping at straws” for solutions because the people that can (lawmakers) are not addressing the real issue. A realistic, fair way to keep weapons away from mentally unstable people.
