There are plenty of ways to stop it, but you'd be infringing on civil rights, with things like metal detectors on the entrances, or armed security guards, things like that. But you don't want to turn schools in to prisons.
Other than that, make sure your guns are secure and not accessible (or usable?) by anyone but yourself. So a solid gun case would be a good place to start. Obviously there's the conversation about smart guns as well, but that technology is some way off being usable.
At another step back in the process, better mental health care for people who clearly have mental health issues like that guy.

( I guess we could start with all the people who are currently in lunatic asylums wearing straitjackets in padded Cells yet I don't know if even that would have prevented one single mass shooting to date)

I like what our Sheriff did with our school teachers in getting them weapons trained. Instead of having to hire an armed guard for every school we have every school with an armed teacher. We had more than enough teachers from every school to volunteer for the program.

Of course, I'm making the assumption that completely removing guns is not an option. Because, " Lanza took the guns from his mother who had them legally and killed her" doesn't happen if his mother doesn't have a gun in the first place

I'm not against that at all so long as the teachers really do get "proper" training...not just the how's of shooting. Knowing how to shoot in a pressure situation with kids possibly running past you and infront of you is a completely different story. I hope they put them through the SWAT VR simulators.

You'd also have to hope that none of the teachers ever flip out in a similar way...

It's impossible to ban guns altogether... the black market would supply
plenty of guns to criminals.
Like drug cartels. They don't follow any laws.
And it's pretty obvious that a nutjob who wants to shoot up a place,
won't go to a school where he won't stand a chance.
He'll go to a "gun free zone"....

Again I agree with you that if the goal is to eliminate gun violence then completely removing guns from the equation is the only solution that will work.
There is a Machiavellian solution to every problem whether or not society is willing to implement it.

Are we happy to live with the ravages of alcoholism on society because we repealed prohibition?

Well with alcohol, same as with cars, with kitchen knives, baseball bats or whatever other tired analogy gets trotted out, the primary purpose is not the maiming and killing of others, unlike a gun.

Very true. In an ideal world, gun crime wouldn't be a thing, so gun rights wouldn't be a thing.

The US is in massive debt from being the world's policeman. Apparently causing trouble abroad is more important than taking care of things at home.

The hypocrisy of some things is insane....cigarettes and alcohol are great examples of products pretty much guaranteed to kill you eventually....millions die yearly as a direct result of using them.....yet.....billions of tax dollars are spent fighting a war against weed(for example), which has killed no one(except for those who died in the "war" so to speak).....
Imagine if someone came out with a new product....any product.....that made you crash your car, then die of lung cancer.....HA!
And with the whole gun thing, no matter where you stand, the facts show where there are more guns, there are more gun deaths. Makes sense. But the facts also show that where there are more guns, there are NOT necessarily more homicides. None the less, not sure how one regulates billions upon billions of guns that now reside in every nook and cranny here and everywhere else...
And Im far from a gun toting NRA "love my weapons" kinda guy, but I did grow up with guns and have always had guns....hell, even got my girl her own rifle at 12....and pretty much agree with the cliche that controlling guns will only regulate the law abiding citizens and truly change nothing crime or homicide wise....

I agree. Legalize weed

Off topic but how do you stop something like Sandy Hook? Connecticut already had some of the toughest gun laws in the nation. Lanza took the guns from his mother who had them legally and killed her. One thing our county has done (with the help of our Sheriff) is that in every school we have teachers who have been trained and authorized to carry a weapon. This makes much more sense than a gun free sign on the door.

I (pray) I come across as a rather reasonable and middle ground poster - and I don't have much interest in conspiracy theories. For those folks that do, sometimes its hard for them to accept that things can just 'be'.
That said, when it comes to Sandy Hook - I've ALWAYS felt something was well out of place there.

Why is it that libs say we should give up our guns because of gun crimes, and tragic, senseless dealths
caused by nutjobs, because those lost lives were priceless...
but they are happy to keep their abortion, murdering all those born and unborn children?
Abortion has only one purpose, the murdering of innocents.
Guns are made to shoot at targets, game, and violent attackers and home invaders.
Abortion is murder. Convenience is the key? They WANT to murder children when THEY WANT TO.
But when some nutjob murders children, we have to make all Americans be forced into responsibility,
when they are already responsible.
Why aren't all the millions of born and unborn children also "Obamao's children" ?
