​13 Days of Gun Control Solutions that Save Lives - Principle #3

The Douzaine Principles for Reducing Gun Violence represent the first-ever comprehensive framework for creating/evaluating gun control ideas

13 Days of Gun Control Solutions that Save Lives

Posting Note: It's tough moving from the energy of marches and rallies to the detail of action and solutions, but this is what we must do to save lives from gun violence. So, I continue on with 13 days of gun control principles that comprehensively save lives. I get this does not make for exciting posts - yet it's my (and many others) life's work to save your life - drugs, guns, domestic violence, mental health, and more. That's my field of crime reduction. So, I urge you to stick with it. Like your work, it's not that simple to get at solutions. Life is often like that. Gun violence is no exception.

For today, Douzaine Principle #3. Read. Share. Act. It will not change otherwise...

#3: Gun violence solutions must be national in scale (local is not good enough) (Foundational Principle)

Why?
Solutions must be national in scale to have sufficient impact to reduce gun violence victims - killed, shot, and those impacted by those killed and shot.
Prior to a nationally scaled solution, regionally scaled efforts of states or counties/parishes, or even communities can be initiated under this principle.
