The methods of achieving this end goal vary from state to state. Some states have continued the longstanding tradition of designating schools as “gun-free zones,” while others have employed armed security guards.

Looking Backward from the Year 2099: Ecozoic Reflections on the Future

Abstract by Samuel Alexander
