should children start active shooter training drills in the USA ?

How many times a year and what would that program look like? If you are against active shooter drills but for tornado or fire drills why one and not the other?

Didn't vote.

Resolve the gun issue nationwide, problem solved.

Yes I know this requires a constitutional amendment. Yet the problem is far, far bigger than just schools.

Kids are getting killed on the streets and even in their own homes. Sometimes by other kids, sometimes they shoot themselves.

Most of the time it doesn't even get reported... Because they are kids.

School shootings is big news, because they don't have to say all who got shot. Just name a school, how many got shot and just how many were kids. Then immediate national news sensation.

@DeWayfarer I love that you put data into your answer and that you used PEW which is a great source. I can get to this later---it is a great talking point and I hope others also respond to it.

@DeWayfarer I agree with everything you said however, gun control isn't on table at the federal level, although it varies from state to state.

I think access to guns could be cool on here but in the idea that neither party will pass control legislation to say "more gun control" or "less access to guns" (aka gun control) is to side-step the issue of protecting children in the USA from mass shootings.
