Description:
The paper discusses adolescent bullying behavior and general personal and family-based psychological dysfunctions that often trigger violent acts. The paper further discusses how the sensational nature of shooting events contributes to the copycat phenomenon. The paper contends that more than other factors, the widespread availability of firearms in the United States results in more school shootings than would be possible if firearms were more difficult to acquire and more tightly regulated. The paper thus concludes that regardless of the sincerity of efforts directed at other contributory elements, failure to address gun control will handicap our ability to prevent school shootings.
