Perhaps a sort of middle of the ground approach based on the original post. Have the concert/large event pay the local police to be on STAND BY. So at least the local swat/heavy weapons/terrorist reaction/etc team is on location and ready, location I mean at the local PD station.
Not sure if that would reduce the cost of it, but that is what I was thinking about, reducing the cost.
Well, if we have crisis then the options available are amend the Constitution, hold a Constitutional Convention, ............................ or hold a coup.
Myself, I do not believe with have a constitutional crisis.
Most gun owners don't. Apparently a mentally ill person is a fine gun customer and after all, gun sellers must have made a nice $100K off of Paddock so it's just the "cost of freedom".

Great. So we have two unworkable solutions - one involving heavily-armed cops literally everywhere and the other involving large social gathering only occurring in the absence of man-made structures. But no solution that says it's maybe a bad idea to make it easy for any guy to own 60 assault rifles that can be converted easily enough to automatic fire?
Powerless anti-government right wing nut jobs 2nd amendment rights supersede your right to a reasonable level of safety..it's right there in that there constitution ya pinko. Alex Jones says this is another false flag to take RWNJ guns.
How are you going to do that with criminals that won't turn them in? The person, not the gun is the problem. The likelihood of anyone being killed in a "mass shooting" like this one, or a terrorist attack is so small that it is ridiculous. Worry about something that can really kill you. People overreact with emotion, and demand we just do stupid things that only make things more difficult for the law abiding.
It's not just the "likelihood". It's the fear that it instills and the cost and inconvenience it causes to try to prevent this kind of thing.
All to make sure a RWNJ can have a garage full of weapons for his anti-government fantasy camp.
Our local concert area is set up properly. Flat ground, dug into the dirt and sufficient armed security to stop such a thing if it happened. There is no sniper hide from any distance where someone could shoot.
This is something we'll need to adapt to, sad as it is. Huge gatherings of unarmed people are just targets.

*sigh* the above wasn't directed to me I know...
but How I hate trying to discuss a topic intelligently in this forum. One guy discussing movies for some reason, another with technical incorrect info about silencers, and then the above.
