As well as I am happy that recent events of Irma and school shootings have forced some schools and states to take the initiative and think outside the box when it comes to the safety to school kids.

However, as stopping hurricanes is out of the question how do we stop shooters and mass shootings altogether, this is only a temporary solution but we need a more permanent one.

Gun control and special campaign by the Government on owing Arms seems a good way to start.
