Hold parents accountable for not securing weapons in the home. ( ie keep all guns in a safe or locked cabinet )


Im not saying this is by any means a cure for school shootings but at least it's a start?
it very well may be. Here's a sociologist's view on the matter, he likens it to a slow motion riot of copy cat shooters with higher and higher thresholds of violence. i.e. how a riot starts, 1 instigator throws a rock through a window, someone sees him do it and says to himself, if he did it then I can do it too. another guy sees those TWO guys throwing rocks and says if those two guys are doing it, then I can do it to.
