The purpose of analyzing school-related gun violence is to see if there are any patterns that would suggest places to start when addressing gun-related violence in the school setting. There have been many calls to action to answer the various shooting incidents; however, as a legislator, I could find little analysis identifying any root causes beyond the speculative: access to guns, mental health issues, poverty, violent films and video games, social media, etc.
It is my hope that armed with more facts, we can make substantive changes to make our children feel safe again. In the end, if we, as members of the General Assembly asked better questions and had reasonable conversations as a result of this information, I believe we will be able to enact sound public policy that has nothing to do with a party affiliation and everything to do with people.
