13 Days of Gun Control Solutions that Save Lives
For this Principle, as I know it's a big one in the public conversation and in people's minds, I'm putting the "Why?" here instead of just via the link. Guns are lethal and make activities such as suicide attempts, domestic violence, and homicide attempts more lethal. Public safety is paramount and this means focused, coordinated, and ongoing efforts by the criminal justice system i.e. law enforcement, prosecutors, courts, probation, prisons and parole are necessary. Each must do their part in alignment with the rest of the justice system. The efforts must be done over time, repeatedly, and with a frequency sufficient to have a meaningful impact. This same principle also applies to the regulatory sphere for gun and ammunition manufacturing, distribution, sale, resale, and disposal. The criminal justice and regulatory efforts must also be coordinated.
Douzaine Principle #10: (PUBLIC SAFETY) Solutions must be grounded in public safety and regulation interventions that respond over time, not just once or at intervals that are far apart.
