Sure we need to address the causes but I've never understood the logic that preventing responsible gun owners closest to the situation from defending themselves and their kids somehow isn't anything other than the BEST option.

How do you curb that?
How about parenting and single parent households.. is that a contributor? How do you address that?
Do you see any of these even remotely possible for realistic discussion, let alone change, given the state of progression this country and the world has taken in past 3 decades?
yeh me either... meanwhile lets put effective measures in place to help protect kids from what is being produced by society.
If you take the money it will take to stop school shootings and apply it elsewhere you will save a lot more lives. I'm not listing them...Just google how kids die.

If you are going at him with phrases like "realistic discussion", I'm afraid you are destined to end up disappointed.

Not overly surprised we are getting to this level of discussion & consideration. I’m sure there will be pros & cons on the subject with different perspectives.

The law, effective June 14, 2013, allows school districts to arm school employees and created an additional category of a certified peace officer known as a "school marshal" who can conceal carry a handgun. Districts can appoint one marshal per 200 students at a campus or one marshal per building in which students received regular instruction.
TRAINING REQUIRED
Before becoming a marshal the employee must undergo a psychological exam. The law also requires 80 hours of specialized training. The instruction includes how to prevent school shootings and keep potential victims safe, the use of deadly force, handgun training and other peace officer duties.
ARE GUNS IN CLASSROOMS
Under the law, if the primary duty of the school marshal involves "regular, direct contact with students" the marshal cannot carry the handgun but may have it "in a locked and secured safe" within the marshal's immediate reach.
WHEN WEAPON CAN BE ACCESSED
A school marshal may only access a handgun under circumstances that would justify the use of deadly force under the penal code.
OTHER OPTIONS
Some districts have opted to use what's been dubbed the "Guardian Plan," which allows school boards to consider authorizing greater access to firearms on campuses.
Under the Guardian Plan, a district can grant anyone, including employees, permission to carry firearms on campuses through a contract.
Question is, what happens if your school district chooses to go against the voters of our state. This law has been around for some time. The majority of voters support it, but a district can choose to not use it with no consequences. At present a district can make any choice they want and not take on one ounce responsibility for that choice. A choice that goes against the states majority should come with a certain amount of liability. This liability will force districts to put additional measures in place to limit their exposure to this liability; in turn creating the safer environment that was the original intent of the law.

The law mandates nothing. It “allows” school marshals.
The state law also “allows” school districts to have their own police department yet probably 95% do not.
If the voters want something, they can absolutely have it. Those voters are the ones in the local school districts who elect their school board.
