First condolences to the families of Buffalo and Texas and all the families who have lost loved ones in these types of tragedies.

We need to stop politicizing these tragedies! Stop waiting on Congress!
This is a grassroots issue.
In almost all cases the young adults who committed these horrific shootings had issues in school!
Troubled kids leave breadcrumbs but no one picks them up! Friends and classmates see, hear or read the warnings. Teachers observe their antics. Most are reclusive. Some are expelled or eventually drop out!

But don’t just rely on the parents! Of course they should be contacted and there should be sincere honest conversations with plans for helping them and the child. But those records should be shared with the local police. They need to make ”wellness” checks. Parents may be afraid and don’t know what to do or where to turn.

Schools & Police departments need to create social media departments! Remember the show 21 Jump Street, students and police could work together to read the posts of all forms of social media. Students could contact the department and anonymously share their concerns.

The second part is the national gun owner registry data base. If a person attempts to buy a gun, the application would have to go into the data base and in turn go to the police department. The application must list all addresses the person resided past and present.

This may help with identifying those with mental illness or warped ideology from doing harm to others with a gun.

Schools need one entrance for students & visitors with armed guards or police on the premises vetting all visitors. Other doors open from the inside only to allow for fire drills or evacuations.

Gun violence will never be eliminated as long as there are illegal guns and criminals to get them. Let’s not punish responsible gun owners or blame the gun itself, fix the system find the solutions.

GOD Bless Us All!
