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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
