However, Hargarten and his colleague at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Richard Withers, co-director of the college's Firearms Injury Center say they worry schools and parents will come to rely on education too much. Daniel Webster, a health policy researcher at The Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health said most child psychologists and pediatricians agree kids will be kids to a large extent. Often children don't hear what they don't want to hear. The Department of Education agrees that relying solely on education is not the answer. In schools the only thing that works to stop gun violence is some education combined with intervention, counselors in every school, parents getting involved, teachers being trained and involved and so on.
Education is no silver bullet.
