Countering the Mass Shooter Threat
This is a comprehensive set of courses for the prevention of mass shootings in schools, business, hospitals and families. Apply the power of learning to keep yourself and your loved ones safe.
What Have We Learned About Mass Shootings?
This class will review data collected from 48 mass shootings, finding similarities along the way. There’s a widespread belief that common sense “controls” will prevent mass shootings from happening.
This class explores these popular ideas by testing their impact, if any, on applicable mass shooting events. Regardless of which side of the political aisle these ideas come from, you’ll learn the truth behind whether or not they’ve resulted in their intended goal.
