I suppose it would beg the question, do you think this would work? I think there have been many examples of throwing money at projects to feel a bit better about things, but how can this prevent sensationalizing the next shooting?

It's safe to say that there will be multiple school related shooting fatalities in Chicago in the coming week, but it won't be splashed on tv to further an agenda, nor will there be a call for extra counselors. Maybe, the money would be best spent countering the divisive 'news' outlets? If there are hundreds of millions of firearms in the country and only one was capable of making the evening news, shame on us for helping them profit from it?
