Mass shootings are unfortunately becoming more common in our society. Safety is never guaranteed but having a better understanding of what’s going on helps you to stay calm and get help.

This class has been adapted from the research and writings of Michael Martin who analyzed data gathered from 48 mass shootings that have occurred since Columbine to determine what can be learned from these tragedies, including whether a reduction in magazine capacity or the banning of any class of firearm, would have changed the outcome. Martin also looks at whether gun-free zones impact the planning of these mass murderers, whether victim response at any mass shooting has made a difference and whether universal background checks or other proposals by gun control advocates stand a chance of stemming the current trajectory of these shootings. Martin summarizes this data with a comprehensive plan designed to eliminate the scourge of these shooters once and for all.
