USCCA has taken the FEMA Active Shooter curriculum, and updated and improved its precepts. In the ‘Church Safety: Protecting your Congregation’ course, we not only teach you responses to this threat, but also suggest a plan to eliminate the scourge of these shooters, once and for all. Together, in this ‘Church Safety: Protecting your Congregation course,’ we will analyze data gathered from mass shootings that have occurred, to determine what can learned from these tragedies, including whether a reduction in magazine capacity or the banning of any class of firearm would have changed the outcome. Michael Martin, author of this book, also looks at whether “gun-free” zones figure into the planning of these mass murderers; whether victim response at any mass shooting has made a difference; and whether “universal background checks” or other proposals by gun control advocates stand a chance of stemming the current trajectory of these shootings.
