Are we really willing to make body armor our main 'solution' to the epidemic of gun violence? We need to talk about prevention.
Back-to-school shopping has begun, and a parent asked me about bulletproof backpacks. I thought she was joking.
The issue of gun violence—its causes and solutions—is incredibly complex. There is not one magic cure-all. Yet the loudest voices remain focused only on what to do in the event of imminent danger. We talk about adding armed security to all public places, without surveilling our own social media channels for threats or signs of people in crisis.
Since then, I've met with politicians, law enforcement, educators, parents, firearm trainers and mental health experts. I've studied social change and how we've historically found common ground in polarized or divisive issues. I've studied police reports and research documents on shootings and school violence.
Sandy Hook Promise has trained over 7.5 million people in more than 14,000 schools to"know the signs." These training sessions have been directly responsible for averting multiple school shooting and suicide threats, as well as countless other acts of violence including cutting, bullying and abuse. We have successfully advocated for ERPOs, now available in 18 states, and directly lobbied the White House and Congress to support this life-saving legislation.
