233: Can Gun Control Stop Mass Shootings? Keeping Our Kids Safe in School and Beyond, with Certified Threat Manager and Former State Department Agent Dave Benson

How are we here again? That's the question that every American asked after the shooting this past week in Nashville. This week I have the information every parent needs to know. My guest is a former State Department agent and current Certified Threat Manager who works to prevent violence in schools and workplaces, and he's here to offer us some advice and support as we move forward in this crazy world. We talk: + Whether mass shootings are a mental health versus gun issue + What changes in behavior to look for that may indicate future violence + How school administrators can make schools safer + Taking the stigma out of addressing mental health issues + How to tell kids to respond in active shooter situations + Will gun control stop mass shootings?
