You and I seem to be in agreement - fixing symptoms doesn't take care of the entire problem. The more you take care of 'up front' (fixing the actual problem), the less you have to do on the back-end (fixing 'symptoms' through things like metal detectors, more security, tighter gun control). The solution should be a mixture of both, but it ends up being primarily back-end.
You could go totally right and install fortresses around all schools, with armed guards, metal detectors, bubbles around each child's desk. Or you could go totally left and make every human being see a psychiatrist every week for their entire life, with all sorts of laws prescribing treatment for a plethora of different symptoms of mental illness. We need something in-between that doesn't violate Constitutional rights, but protects our society.
