Content: The issue of mental illness among school shooters has many people calling for the overhaul of gun and ammunition sales laws. Violent Influences
Movies, television, comic books, and video games containing violence, guns, and a reward for the bad guys have been blamed for many mass shootings in the United States and abroad. Some crime statistics support this notion, while many still question whether this is true. It’s certainly something to keep in mind in combination with the other factors. Gun Access
Most states have increased gun control laws to prevent certain types of guns from getting into the hands of potential school shooters. Several studies suggest easy access to weapons may be a reason for the increase in gun violence, particularly at schools. This issue has prompted a call for mental health checks of potential gun buyers and a change to the age at which someone can purchase a firearm. Recognizing Warning Signs of School Shootings
Reports suggest most school shootings should come as no surprise. In today’s digitally connected world, school shooters can gain the attention of millions as they reveal their innermost anger and potential “take-down” plans. The media itself, across all platforms, is commonly blamed for triggering the violent behaviors of students.
