How to stop school shootings? First of all, let’s start with a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T! Does anyone teach this attitude anymore? Another place to start – those acid-mouthed, sassy, smart-a**ed young kids on television. You know – the ones that talk back to their parents, teachers, the police, and other adults. No one “communicates” – it’s just all yelling and arguing and when “they” don’t get their way, out come the guns in real life.
