They should try to get an international dialog within thousands of local communities between lawyers, librarians, physicians, psychiatrists, social workers, nurses, victims/survivors, victim-witness assistance providers, students, teachers, CEOs, movie directors, Hollywood studio execs, 2nd Amendment historians/scholars and many many others to address what can be done about curbing this kind of violence on a practical level.

And TOTVers can do this too. What is going on in the community you moved here from that will stop school violence? Curbing cyber and in person bullying is one step; as is more teaching about mental illness; gun control by parents, friends and/or other relatives; lawsuits against gun manufacturers and others; education about practical materials available for survivor/victims of crimes in libraries, law enforcement websites, apps and other resources. Just approach this problem from every conceivable angle and ignore party politics as much as possible. Strengthening community bonds is also critical. On a very local level.

I know quite well some of the grandparents of one of these very recent shootings. They never recover from this kind of loss.
