- Abstract
An editorial is presented which addresses the perspectives of graduate public health students regarding the potential arming of teachers as a means of preventing gun violence in American schools. Gun-related injuries and deaths at U.S. schools in 2018 are examined, including a shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Mental well-being is assessed, along with a gag rule which is designed to prevent the number of gun violence-related deaths from being revealed.
