Bloomberg came the closest to doing it and it worked to reduce crime to historically low levels.

Both parties don’t want this. Would be 180 to have nationwide Bloomberg era stop and frisk (all convictions must have full body camera footage to be valid).

how is it possible to own a firearm illegally unless you're a felon (i.e., have already proven that you don't give a fuck about something being illegal)?

gang killings are performed with mostly illegal or stolen guns and target rival gangs members. most perps and victims are black or hispanic.

mass shootings are performed with legally purchased (often improperly secured) guns and target random people at locations the perp is familiar with (school, town, etc.) most perps and victims are white. many perps have mental issues

these are vastly different problems and need vastly different solutions

The mass shooting type you prefer to focus on is a relatively speaking a miniscule public health issue. Honestly mandatory media gag orders would probably be the best solution. People that want guns or even to just randomly harm a lot of people will find a way regardless of whatever laws we put in place. But kill off the notoriety and I think a lot of the problem goes away. I think to stay relevant we'll see more targeted assassinations.

You are aware that even including gang violence, mass shootings are still very rare.

"One definition is an act of public firearm violence—excluding gang killings, domestic violence, or terrorist acts sponsored by an organization—in which a shooter kills at least four victims."

This is a decade old, but I'm sure it hasn't changed.

"Using this data, the Guardian found that half of the United States’ gun murders in 2015 were clustered in 127 cities (Want to fix gun violence? Go local). We also found that violence was concentrated even further than simply the city level: census tract areas that contain just 1.5% of the country’s population saw 26% of America’s total gun homicides."

It's the same few neighborhoods year after year and most of them are very "diverse." What's more, the predators shooting people are already using guns illegal for them to have. If you want to reduce gun deaths, then great, let's go to those places and lock up the thugs. After we do that, we can talk about next steps.

"these results indicate that there may be an increased risk of violent crime during SSRI treatment in a small group of individuals. It may persist throughout medicated periods, across age groups, and after treatment discontinuation."

guns don't shoot themselves.

Monitor and ban communities on platforms like discord and Reddit where shooters become radicalized.

These two thing would dramatically lower deaths caused by shootings

I think you do your best to stop the insane media coverage about them (the media actually has gotten better on this) and just don't give them too much attention.

"Some people just want to watch the world burn" - and even if you took away guns, it isn't like its hard to kill people. We're actually probably lucky these people are using guns instead of other methods.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5781744&forum_id=2Reputation#49316052)

Unless you can tell me something that would actually stop mass killings at an acceptable cost.

I mean, isn't the lib line always "ban assault weapons"? But most mass shootings are always done by people who have assault weapons illegally or just by handguns or rifles. So that's not really a solution.

and just spit balling here, but would punishing a mass shooter's family be 'conservative' ? it would be sort of unfair in that you're punishing innocent people but maybe it changes the deterrence profile for a shooter who is otherwise ready to murder/suicide

i don't think conservatives want increased psychiatric/mental health type checks because that feels like top down government control and who knows if they could correctly forecast it anyway

They think it is a matter of policy. They think it is a matter of mental health. They think it is a matter of statistics. But they are cowards before the truth. The truth is we tore the soul out of the people. We told them there is no higher law, no hand above, no fire below. We left them to drift in a country where nothing is sacred and nothing is feared.

In the 50s a man walked into his school or factory and he knew it was holy ground. He feared God. He feared shame. He feared the look in his mother’s eyes. He feared judgment, both earthly and eternal. Now there is no judgment. No fear. Only hollow men with hollow lives who kill to feel real for one last hour.

We do not need more Posts. We do not need more Laws. We need the nation’s spine put back in place. We need the people to believe again that the schoolhouse and the church are temples. We need the fear of God to hang in every hallway like smoke. Until then the shootings will go on, and the intellectuals will debate in bad faith; blind, useless, and damned.
