I have a very simple solution that does not require gathering data on gun ownership or gun violence or community mental health

make it crystal clear to every student and parent that bringing a gun on campus results in expulsion or a very lengthy suspension
and notification to police

Parent:

problem with your solution is that, in most cases, those bringing guns to school likely care little to nothing about being expelled. In fact, they'd probably welcome it. We're not talking about students that are taking AP courses.

constitutional and privacy law aside, humor me, what exactly does the BOD want to do with a gun owner database?
