"Virginia Tech shootings: choosing a violent or a nonviolent response" by Richard L. Johnson

"Virginia Tech shootings: choosing a violent or a nonviolent response" by Richard L. Johnson (Word Count: 1279)

" … many articles are being written to suggest solutions to this kind of tragic violence in the future. It seems to me that they all boil down to two approaches: 1. arming greater numbers of citizens on a regular basis so that we can defend ourselves against would-be killers. 2. involving professionals and greater numbers of citizens in nonviolent approaches to reduce violence and to increase effective responses when violence does occur."
