Data obtained from The Violence Project and organized by the Los Angeles Times reveals that five reforms specifically could result in significantly reducing the number of mass shootings in the U.S. Those reforms are:
--banning straw purchases (and strengthening enforcement)
--requiring safe storage of weapons when not in use
--an assault weapons ban
--background checks on every gun purchase
--and “red flag” laws
The analysis admits there’s “no guarantee that these laws would be effective in stopping motivated killers from ultimately achieving their goal.”

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
