What will it take for US to tighten gun ownership regulations? How many more dead, injured, and traumatized?
One day after the mass killing at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney, Australian leaders agreed to strengthen the country’s gun laws.

Austria had a similarly swift response after a school shooting in June.

What forces enable these countries to act where the U.S. will not?
What Can We Learn From Austria's Response to a Single School Shooting?
Lawmakers passed swift, sweeping gun reform after the mass shooting at a school in Graz. Here's how they did it.

Same. And there are never enough places to hide or ways to block the door or escape routes.

We need common sense gun control now.
Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.
