[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 402116"] #1 thing that would reduce gun murders (BY FAR): Law Enforcement and the FBI starts doing their job. The vast majority of gun murders are inner city by felons who shouldn't have guns. Nobody ever goes to confiscate weapons when people are convicted of felonies. #2 our gun murder rate is at an all time record low going back to the 1800s, when their data collection was probably not even good in the first place. So gun murders are nothing new and have dropped substantially in the United States. But the TYPE of targets have changed to softer targets like schools (colleges, elementary schools, movie theaters) and other "gun free zones" where the criminals know they probably won't find any resistance. Hire an armed resource/police officer for every school. NOT TEACHERS. NOT STUDENTS. #3 partly overlaps with #1, but get more aggressive above inputting police and mental health contacts into the background check database. This is probably where legislation is needed and it will start lawsuits for infringing on the 2nd and 4th and 1st amendments, but I think you can make a public welfare and safety argument that even if you can't successfully prosecute someone for making terroristic threats (or similar) that results in a felony and loss of guns, high levels of violent behavior and mental health issues should get someone a 5 year time-out or something like that. Guns confiscated for 5 years, 5 year probation. All this stuff about confiscating all guns or guns that look scary won't do anything to move the needle. [/QUOTE]
