Eliminating the so called “gun free zones” around campuses, installing armed guards and allowing qualified, trained students and faculty to arm themselves would make the job of people such as Mercer far more dicey.

Primary solution, encourage people to turn back to God and the Bible as a guide for life and living. Secondary solution, what this writer says - concealed carry everywhere and arming of teachers, etc. where needed.

Tertiary solution, find a way to be able to find individuals who are unstable either on the record or off the record (public reporting) and make sure that where they live they have no access, limited access or controlled access to weapons. The public reporting would be rife with problems with many reporting someone they simply don't like as being unstable instead of reporting someone who actually might be a danger. That process would have to be refined.

Vindictive reporting would be a serious problem. Leftists would tend to report conservatives as "unstable". There would be organized efforts by the Left to identify "right wingers" and ensure they could not be armed.

One possibly-objective approach would be to focus on people with no history of stable employment. (But that might be deemed raaaacist...)
