what about checkpoints near the state at Union Station or parade route?
Far too difficult to implement security checkpoints when an event is drawing hundreds of thousands over a mile+ of area. To be a truly secure event, you’d need to vacate all buildings during these events on the parade route. We shouldn’t lock ourselves up and away because of this tragedy. We can come together and move on, but if we want a secure environment for large events like this, it has to go far beyond reason and get extremely difficult to implement adequately.
The shooters were not trying to kill people, just each other, it could have happened anywhere on the way to the event or on the way out, there were plenty of potential innocent bystanders everywhere.
being kids, they probably didn't have much experience with their choice of firearms and just shot randomly in the crowd with their targets being each other, most of other homicides haven't been in large crowds

They're just "undocumented weapons."

Same one's that have been for decades. I can't think of the last time I read about a gun death using a legally purchased gun to be honest. I love the fact they went after those who sold the guns illegally. We need much more of that!
