13 Days of Gun Control Solutions that Save Lives

For today, Douzaine Principle #2. Read. Share. Act. It will not change otherwise...

#2: Gun Control Solutions that Save Lives must be national in scope (Foundational Principle)

Why?
Solutions must be national in scope to cross jurisdictional boundaries allowing for national uniformity for gun control. We are the only nation with the right to bear arms, therefore solutions must address gun control from a national perspective, not a state-by-state or town-by-town perspective. Further, city, county, parish, and state borders don't mean anything to guns, bullets, to those who would do others harm or harm themselves, as well as to criminals. Gun crime victims and their loved ones don't care where a gun came from; they care that they have now been injured and suffered from the horrific experience of being shot. Finally, those people suffering from severe depression must not have access to a gun no matter where they are. State by state initiatives are insufficient to address the scope of the problem. A federal oversight and coordinated response is absolutely warranted during this time of crisis to ensure uniformity of application, enforcement, response and treatment across the entire nation.
