Proactive rather than reactive in dealing with gun violence

Gun violence is a plague on our society. Everyone knows this sad reality. According to Omnilert, there were 346 shooting incidents on school grounds in 2023, which is a 2,200 percent increase since 2010. Firearms are now the number one cause of death for children in the United States, exceeding motor vehicle deaths. So far this year alone, there have been at least 48 mass shootings in the United States, with 81 killed and 165 wounded, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

It’s just as good served cold or at room temperature and you can always warm it up in the microwave for a short period.
