The political scientist suggested the reason for the problem of shootings in US schools

The problem of shooting in American schools remains urgent, as there is not enough funding to solve it. Pavel Dubravsky, a political strategist and analyst, told about this on Monday, April 21.

At the same time, their implementation — the installation of metal detectors and security in educational institutions, as well as teacher training — is the prerogative of the states.
