Frequently Asked Questions

What are immediate, practical steps to decrease school shootings?

Immediate steps include denying notoriety to perpetrators by not sharing their names or images, implementing concealed armed responses in schools with trained staff, and significantly revamping the mental healthcare system for early intervention.

Why is it important to not name mass killers?

Not naming mass killers denies them the notoriety they often seek as a primary motivator for their actions. This practice, if adopted by media and the public, can serve as a significant disincentive for future mass murders.

What is the role of concealed carry in school safety?

A concealed armed response by trained and selected staff can act as a deterrent because potential attackers wouldn't know where an armed response might originate, making schools less predictable targets.

How can parents prevent unauthorized access to firearms?

Parents must ensure firearms are stored securely, preferably in quick-access safes, to prevent access by minors, especially those exhibiting signs of emotional instability or potential danger to themselves or others.
