The best approaches include:
* addressing students’ health
* empowering teachers and law enforcement to intervene when students show signs they could be a danger to themselves or others
* improving our schools’ physical security
* keeping guns out of the hands of people who shouldn’t have them in the first place

Researchers believe that individuals who use firearms to commit violent crimes do not possess  their weapons lawfully. Instead, they obtain their firearms through an illegal or illicit market.
Article: "Policies to Prevent Firearm Trafficking" by Jon S. Vernick and Daniel W. Webster.
Analysis from Vernick and Webster:
  - Virginia "one-gun-per-month" law.
  - Individuals were allowed to purchase one firearm within a 30 day period.
Results from analysis:
- Virginia experienced a reduction in interstate trafficking of about 64 percent.
Final conclusion:
- Limiting the amount of firearms an individual can purchase will prevent potential traffickers from distributing weapons to criminals.
