Involuntary mental health holds or longer commitments are already included in today's mandated background checks. It's limited to those because we don't want to dissuade people from seeking mental health treatment, especially former military or others who really don't want to be disarmed by the state. In my experience, many people proposing additional gun legislation really have no idea what's been in place in many states and/or the entire country for years (e.g. background checks on almost all gun sales, waiting periods, magazine restrictions, weapon restrictions, etc.). Also, it doesn't help that studies have been done by decidedly anti-gun organizations that show universal background checks do nothing to reduce gun crime and even suicide [0]. The best way to stop an active shooter is obviously to prevent the crime. The next best are trained individuals with firearms, and since time is of the essence you might want them already onsite. We have armed guards for banks even though the money is generally FDIC insured. We have armed guards for cash transfers and even coin pickups from grocery stores. Yeshivas often have armed guards — why can't we harden secular schools? And no, literally no one is saying teachers have to be armed.
