The responses come after a spate of high-profile mass shootings across several states that have left dozens dead and rattled the country.
In one shooting in El Paso, Texas, a gunman killed 22 people, appearing to have targeted them based on their Hispanic heritage.
Amid conversations about public violence and domestic terrorism, gun control has, for the first time in years, become a very real prospect on Capitol Hill. But wavering commitments from President Donald Trump have stalled any movement on new bipartisan legislation. Young people are uniquely poised to experience mass shootings or the consequences of active shooter culture. Nearly one-quarter of mass shootings occur at educational institutions, according to an FBI study of incidents occurring from 2000 to 2013. Furthermore, young people are also often subjected to active shooter drills at school or targeted with advertisements for consumer items, such as reinforced backpacks, meant to guard against potential shootings.
The disparity in concern about mass shootings between older and younger generations is supported by data showing that young people have disproportionately had to bear witness to these incidents. An active shooter drill is performed by the Livingston Police Department, the Park County Sheriff's Office, and Livingston Fire Department EMS at Park High School on April 27, 2018 in Livingston, Montana.
