USCCA Countering The Mass Shooter Threat
Registration and payment for this 4 hour class may be done here.
In this class, you’ll review an analysis of data gathered from 48 mass shootings that have occurred since Columbine, to determine what can be learned from these tragedies, including whether a reduction in magazine capacity or the banning of any class of firearm would have changed the outcome.
You'll also learn whether “gun-free” zones figure into the planning of these mass murderers; whether victim response at any mass shooting has made a difference; and whether “universal background checks” or other proposals by gun control advocates stand a chance of stemming the current trajectory of these shootings. This course summarizes the data with a comprehensive plan designed to eliminate the scourge of these threats and helps us begin to lay the foundation to be prepared to address this type of threat at home, work, in our schools and temples/churches.
