Really? No one should know about what actually happens here? How will that help to know that murder never happened in ALL THESE PLACES below. **And these are just schools, not stores, concerts, movie theaters, parks, pools, house. I hope this takes up all of your phone displays today.

This. I feel like tons of people are already signing petitions, calling out heartless politicians, sharing things on social media, donating to organizations, etc.. But nothing is getting done because politicians aren't getting it done. What is there to do at this point? It's hard for me to accept that the answer is nothing and that we're stuck with this. |

Permissive red state gun laws are to blame.
Solid majority of guns in urban crime (in blue cities!) are straw purchases trafficked from.... RED STATES WITH PERMISSIVE GUN LAWS Mass shootings are more likely, per capita (and trending up in).... RED STATES WITH PERMISSIVE GUN LAWS |

I really like all your ideas, but want to focus on this one and play devil's advocate a bit. If insurance becomes required for all guns, are already-owned guns subject to the requirement? If yes, how does the government go about locating all the guns out there in order to make their owners comply with the requirement? If no, would this lead to a massive surge in gun sales right before the law goes into effect? |

Me too. I broke down in tears after Sandy hook. It has taken me days to finally cry about Nashville. But here we are. |

Yes, insurance is required retroactively for anyone who owns a gun. Include hunting rifle to handgun to AR-15. Perhaps some insurance companies will not want to ensure an AR-15. Good.
It will be hard to police this admittedly, but if something happens or a person is caught with a gun that is not insured I would say jail time at the minimum. Perhaps 6 months for each gun you own that was not properly permitted or insured. |

What about recess? Any bullett proof glass there? Or in stores? Playgrounds? A large majority of shooters had no mental health issues, no red flags, no concerns, and seemingly no guns, either. That was until they did have a mental health concern and had access to a gun. Legal access to a gun. Mental health isn't linear, it isn't comprehensive, it isn't predictable, and it isn't even the reason we have shootings. There are millions of people all over the world, here, and in your own circle that have a mental health crisis, and it's every day. They, by in large, are not a danger to others, and often not even to themselves. Stop with the stupid arguments. |

Actually: the better idea is to be able to sue and imprison the entire family of the gun shooter as enabling them to do this in the first place. If they are held to the civil liabilities of this (kinda like how you are liable for lawsuit if someone is injured on your property)- it will change the legal system. We are actually going to see these cases come about soon (one with the shooter who was given the assault rifle by his parents and the other by the 6 year old who shot his teacher). When the family is liable- that’s when we will see more gun control because people won’t be able to afford insurance let alone the gun. |

Things listed well eradicate these on their own, but there are a lot of commonsense measures we can take to help reduce and eliminate these from happening. Yes, we also go outside in the parks. I don't think that we can live in fear or a prison, but I think having bulletproof glass on first Lord doors and classrooms is not unreasonable |

| Can someone please explain why any civilian needs an AR-15 style rifle that is explicitly designed to maim? From what I understand they aren’t used for hunting bc of how much the bullets mess up the inside of an animal, rendering them inedible. There is a clear pattern of this type of weapon being used in mass shootings. |

It looks like autocorrect messed up your response. Long story short, there is not just one answer, but I think we need a multifaceted approach to get the numbers of these down. 100% for insurance and being able to sue |
