It would take years if not decades but what's the alternative - maintaining the status quo? Arming everyone?

I think that is a question we ought to explore as a society. Criminal and mental health background checks are a good practice. Stiffer penalties for all violent crime including involuntary hospitalization for mentally compromised individuals is another topic worth exploring to minimize repeat offenses and avoid major incidents. Socio-economic policy that conditions that are not conducive to violent crime is also worth delving into.
The focus needs to be on violent crime and its causes.
