Nowhere is America’s problem with guns more striking than in the nation’s schools. Columbine, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, to name just a few: hundreds of schools and colleges across the country have been the scene of traumatic shootings.

“In the United States, at least, more than half of the counties nationwide don’t have a single facility for mental health…It’s a systemic problem within schools, it’s a systemic problem within our society as a whole…That’s what we’re really going to try and push.”
