Do We Have A Broken Gun Control And Monitoring System In The U.s How Is It Possible For A Mentally

How can America stop gun violence?

Enforce the laws on the books. Fund support for law enforcement and mental health authorities to submit disqualifying information on a timely basis.Better funding for mental health, including anger management, sociopathy, and other psychoses. Promote public awareness of mental health and lead the efforts to remove the stigma from mental illness, encouraging those who need professional help to seek it.Promote firearm safety, beginning with young children. Also promote safe gun handling and storage on the part of gun owners.Allow the public to access the NICS system or facilitate low-cost background checks without the need to go through a licensed firearms dealer.Set new, better-defined regulations as to who needs a license. Right now, the standards are very vague and they allow many sellers who should be licensed to operate without one.Supply funding for school safety programs and procedures. Mandate that armed teachers and school staff receive rigorous training, preferably from law enforcement professionals. Recognize that many schools simply don’t have the money to pay for a full-time sworn law enforcement officer on every campus.Work on reducing gangs and gang violence. Legalize some drugs, such as marijuana, to reduce the illegal trafficking and the violence that goes with it. Understand that reducing gun violence is only a part of the need to reduce violence.Understand that gun control legislation may be politically palatable but that experience has shown it has a negligible effect on criminal use of firearms.Resist demonizing gun owners, pro-gun-rights groups and specific weapon types. Instead, enlist the gun owners and gun rights groups in the effort to reduce the incidence of firearms in crime. The current divisions are actually counterproductive.Tell the public that, despite the media-fueled fears, gun violence has dropped from its highs in the 1990s. Let them know that they can play an important part in reducing gun violence.Gun violence wasn’t spawned by guns and it won’t be reduced by simple-minded gun control.

Which one is more urgent matter to act on either to make stricter gun control law or to install metal detectors for each school?

Well that depends on what your trying to achieve. There’s lots of things the US could do to appear to be trying to do something to solve the problem. There’s a few they could do to dramatically reduce the frequency of mass killings. There’s no way to completely illuminate them and remain a free society however.Installing metal detectors will reduce the problem within buildings with such devices installed but will massively increase time taken to enter buildings at peak times and does nothing to prevent someone mowing people down as the line up to enter. So I’d consider this ineffectual, cost a fortune but make people feel safer until somebody mows down a bunch of people lining up.Some measures of gun control will make some people feel safer. Other measures will make people actually safer. But anything doing that will be hotly contested by the NRA, probably unpopular with many especially measures that will actually do any good, quite possibly require repeal of the 2nd amendment and most damaging of all to the proposition require politicians to give up their multimillion dollar donations from the NRA if they support it.As long as American men feel owning a gun makes their dicks bigger and gun manufacturers make billions from American kids dying then you have 0 chance of getting anything effective through.

In what ways can the government reduce gun violence by addressing mental health issues?

This is a popular red herring with gun advocates. Oh, no, don’t legislate about guns, it’s mental health that is the issue.First of all it isn’t mental health that is the problem, it’s drugs, booze, rage and jealousy that fuels most shootings. Some mass shootings are the result of an identifiable mental health issue, but that is a tiny fraction of the 14–15,000 gun homicides committed per year.For suicides guns are a major problem… 20,000+ gun suicides in a year. Suicide attempts are generally one-off, a person survives and never attempts suicide again. Guns are 98% fatal vs. about 20% by other means. Take away guns and 15,000 people survive their suicide attempt, even if other means are used.Meaningful education on mental health issues and universal insurance so folks can get treatment are pipe dreams. Remember the ACA and how the GOP has reacted to it?I’ve thoroughly researched gun violence and the common factor in every instance is, wait for it, a gun.
