Again, the exaggeration is out of control.
There were no entrance checkpoints at the school. There was no dedicated individual watching the entrance or exit points and checking IDs of visitors. You CAN have large numbers of people exiting a building while others are entering.
It does not take 10 security guards to watch an access point.

Yeah, it's not authoritarian to repeal one of the original amendments making up the Bill of Rights, but it's authoritarian to check IDs for visitors wanting to enter a school.
Beam me up, Scotty.
It's funny that the people who are supposedly all about civil liberties are the ones asking for an authoritarian, police state.

High school kids have ~50 years of unrealized labor potential, at a ballpark of 50k per year.
2,500,000 x 17 = $42,500,000 in lost potential wages
17 families will now have to bury a child. Average cost of funeral service 10k = $170,000
Let’s say on average 50 people attend each funeral, so they have to take a day or two of unpaid bereavement leave.
850 people x $500 in lost wages= $425,000 in lost wages
It’s not cheap to travel with no notice for planning, so we’ll use an average $1,000 per person = $850,000
100’s maybe 1,000s of survivors will now suffer from PTSD, which is hard to calculate costs but easily into the millions = $100,000,000- $1,000,000,000
So we’re already potentially north of 1 billion dollars in costs, without even beginning to consider all the ancillary costs to come, so we can pause and move over to the benefit side of the analysis.
Benefits
A gun manufacturer made a sale of ~1,000 which netted them a hundred or two in profits.
So who gets stuck with the tab for another gun nut taking his lame hobby of target practice to the local high school?
Oddly, not the gun maker. Because your halfwit Republican Government says that the gun worked as intended, to turn teenagers into bloody chunks.
