Also a myth perpetuated by Trump. He claimed crime was rampant when we're at some of our lowest levels in highest.



Not to use this as a "whataboutism" but to point out that we need to all agreed that we're safer now than we have been in a long time.

That said, there is data to suggest that since the assault rifle ban has expired, mass shootings are up. 


But all of that aside, this is why, as a teacher, my focus post Parkland has been support services for teachers, schools, and students. We need the kids who are falling through the cracks and contemplate self harm, suicide, or mass shootings. Arm me with support services, not a hand gun. I don't need metal detectors, I need counselors and social workers.
