Frequently Asked Questions

What are two ways to help prevent active shooter events?

Two key strategies are: first, deny active shooters the attention they crave by making them the subject of ridicule and memes, which discourages copycat crimes. Second, ensure you are armed and trained, as the most effective way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

Why is making active shooters into memes an effective strategy?

Making active shooters into memes and jokes is a calculated PR move. It denies them the attention and infamy they seek, making them look pathetic and uninspiring, which can help prevent future copycat crimes by reducing their perceived notoriety.

Are gun-free zones effective in preventing active shooter incidents?

No, gun-free zone signs are generally ineffective. Active shooters often choose these locations because they are perceived as 'soft' targets where potential victims are less likely to be armed and able to defend themselves.

What is the primary recommendation for civilians regarding active shooters?

The primary recommendation is for civilians to be armed and trained. The video emphasizes that the best defense against an active shooter is a well-armed and prepared civilian who can intervene and neutralize the threat.
