WE ALL WANT THESE SHOOTINGS TO STOP. WE ALL WANT ANSWERS AND SOLUTIONS.
How do we stop the shooter??
I believe expanding "red flag laws" and other "extreme risk restrictions" are our best chance of saving lives because they identify and stop the shooter.
This article on Pew Trust speaks to this approach.
"Red flag laws have become an increasingly popular tool to prevent mass shootings, suicides and deadly domestic violence. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia have adopted them, sometimes with bipartisan support."
Rather than taking away the rights of everyone to try to stop a particular killer, we can provide a means for the public to single out an individual deemed a risk in order to prevent that person from possessing a gun. Such laws can even allow for a warrant to sieze weapons.
Here is a good article explaining Red Flag / Extreme Risk Laws:
Red Flags laws make sense and have proven to work. They save lives. Such laws have earned bi-partisan support because it gets guns out of hands of high risk individuals without infringing on the rights of citizens at large.
THIS GIVES ME HOPE.
