This 4 hour seminar encompasses an analysis of data gathered from 48 mass shootings that have occurred since Columbine, to determine what can learned from these tragedies, including whether a reduction in magazine capacity or the banning of any class of firearm would have changed the outcome. Do “gun-free” zones figure into 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. Course ends with a summary of this data with a comprehensive plan designed to eliminate the scourge of these shooters once and for all. “Countering the Mass Shooter” book by Michael Martin is included.
