It is a topic that I think about quite a bit. And not just because of what seems like a never-ending flow of news reports on yet anoth school shooting. I did a couple of terms on the local school board, and remain in contact with others from that school, and several others in the area. It is an issue that has grown significantly in the past two decades, as documented in the book "The Violence Project" -- which I strongly recommend.
