Nothing at all was done after Columbine, Sandyhook, Las Vegas...did that solve the problem?

Of homicidal people?
Was anyone expecting it to, or were they just trying to virtue-signal to the gun banners?

Actually, Columbine changed a lot of things about the way cops respond to active shooters.
Nothing? No nothing did not solve the problem

Of course not. But it makes lefties "feel" better.
I heard a father of a victim speaking about needing better school security. Metal detectors, bag searches, etc. I think that is a good policy. In the end, it will stop a lot of OTHER bad things coming into school - like drugs, alcohol and other weapons. That is a win/win as far as I am concerned. It may also just in general cut down on the bad behavior in general. Particularly if you have them patrolling the outside of the schools all day. Watching the activity in the parking lots, watching the comings and goings of people in general - would probably help stop a lot of behaviors.
You wouldn't call it a "win/win" if you had buried your child.
Yup...that is why nobody was killed at Sandyhook, Aurora, the church in Texas, Pulse....

What? I am not saying the incident is a win. I am saying -changing security protocols at schools will both provide additional protection against a shooter - AND - stop drugs and other bad things from getting into the schools. And that - is a win/win. Nothing will retroactively fix that situation.
Some very sick person took a gun and killed a bunch of people so companies penalize legal gun owners who have never shot anyone?
Nah. That's not going to help at all.
Why, is the requisite threshold for voicing ideas predicated upon first losing a child of one's own?

Action beats reaction..... every single time.
and yet you seem opposed to action.
The requisite threshold for declaring something a "win/win" would certainly be dependent upon the personal price paid. There is no win for the parents or families of those lost.

Irrelevant actions that restrict my freedom? Hell yes, I'm opposed to that nonsense.

The rich are all in the same clique. They only care about what the other entitled spoiled snobs think, especially when they dote on their youngest generation. In the 60s, all the richkids who posed as hippies made their Daddies pass the civil rights for the uncivilized laws.
The win here seems to be at the price of a diminished expectation of privacy in the form of increased security and scrutiny. Win two would be that other unwanted items like drugs may be screened for as well.

Only in this case. For the obverse, ask a lefty what they think of testimony from a person who survived an abortion attempt.
