Two Professors Found What Creates a Mass Shooter. Will Politicians Pay Attention? - POLITICO
Solid article about how, instead of dumping law enforcement into schools, dumping money into mental health services may be a much better tool for the job of preventing mass shootings. Further, it explains how it doesn't really make sense to assume more guns will deter shooters as this is often seen as an act of suicide.
(My own opinion) Additionally, I was thinking a bit about the stats we were talking about a few days ago in regards to death rate increasing for mass shootings when there is an armed guard present. One possible explanation for this could be that armed guards don't deter attacks, but they do ensure that an individual is better prepared due to a greater expectation of resistance. This increased preparedness could result in a higher death rate if they are able to overcome that initial resistance.
