Like many people have suggested before if we put a few cops in each school that would help out a lot.

It would help but it shouldn't be the solution...
Why do schools of all places need to be guarded like banks and airports? You realize schools aren't exclusively targeted by people who want to go on murder rampages right? The could just as easily attack other public areas like supermarkets or malls. Does that mean we should just station a squad of officers at every place that seems likely to be attacked? **** no. You're wasting resources on the worst case scenario when you could be actively trying to prevent these attacks from happening.
The fact that this is being considered shows that gun control is fundamentally flawed in this country. Gun control isn't just about the immediate transaction between the person buying and selling the firearm, its also what happens afterwards. That gun can easily end up in someone else's hands without any official transaction being made.
Stop getting tunnel-visioned with singular aspects of the problem. Its obvious that there's a lot more to buying and owning a gun. There is no single solution to the issue.
