Abstract

School shootings continue to plague our nation at an alarming rate. This chapter per the authors discusses the gravity of the problem from multiple angles. The authors examine the role that concealed carry, open carry, and the ubiquitous nature of guns in the United States play in violence both in and out of schools. The authors also compare interventions from the government that have not worked with human behavior and sociological problems in the past and suggest potential solutions and policy implications for the present and future. The authors analyze the role that gun culture, advocacy, crime, and political factors all play in proposing solutions.
