Problem
The United States only accounts for 5% of the world’s population. Yet we lead the world in mass shootings. In the past three decades, these mass shootings have led to 1348 victims. Over half of the weapons used in these shootings were assault rifles and guns with high capacity magazines. These weapons kill en masse and are purchasable by the public.
Solution
We wrote, designed and bound a 24 page survival guide for mass shootings.We aimed to do three things with our survival guide:
1. Save lives. Our guide provides helpful tips for what do in an active shooter scenario.
2. Highlight how ridiculous it is that a mass shooting survival guide is needed in our country.
3. Start a discussion about the state of assault weapons in our country, and provide a way to take action.
Call to action
Every survival guide comes with a pre-written detachable postcard. The message on the postcard calls for a renewed ban on assault rifles. Readers can send these postcards to their local representative.
