Is Armed Security the Solution to Mass Shootings?

With the tragic school shootings in Santa Clarita and Fresno yet again igniting the ever-present worry about mass shootings in America, we see familiar rifts forming. Politicians are being urged to “do something” to quell the tide, usually through gun control. And even though they're incredibly rare, these horrific events have filled the public consciousness and are driving lawmakers to somehow respond. It's a push that has culminated in responses like former presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke's “Hell yes we're going to take your AR-15” or current presidential hopeful Kamala Harris' “executive action” ultimatum. And as the frenzy grows, fewer and fewer “solutions” seem concerned at all with the Constitution.
