The glaring absence of tailored legislation or proactive measures by Congress to shield students, teachers, schools, and universities from the looming threat of domestic terrorism stands as a critical and disconcerting lapse in our national security. Indeed, the Council on Foreign Relations have maintained that school shootings are a national security threat.
Shockingly, the Gun Violence Archive has documented an astounding 632 mass shootings in the country in the current year alone, a figure that demands not just concern but urgent and unequivocal attention to address this pervasive crisis.
Despite increasing demands for more stringent firearm regulations and efforts to prevent domestic terrorists from accessing guns, little substantive action has been taken to address this pressing issue.
