(18,318 posts)1 Jailing for long terms repeat violent thugs. And keep them in there.
2 Institute a universal BG test system on all transfers which is not tied to a registration system, and excepts immediate family members.
3 Concentrate job/education programs within inner city areas.
4 Federally-fund school (about 100k institutions) security programs, up to and including trained armed personnel in schools, but not the Barbara Boxer send-in-the-guard approach.
5 I have reservations in this, but suspend gun sales for those voluntarily committing themselves for mental health services. All NICS-record mental health adjudications should be speeded up, with increased funding.
6 Legalizing & regulating all now-illegal drugs
Some ideas to address 2 distinct problems, only 1 of which gets a lot of attention.
You made a qualifier question re Sandy Hook concerning public complacency. IMO, the effective moves toward finding solutions will increasingly come from 2A activist groups and indivuduals. For now they will have to: Gun controllers/banners have shown a complete inflexibility in changing their media & elite-reliant strategies of demonizing their "opposition," and calling for bans. Hopefully, that will change, but new groups like the IFOA aren't willing to wait around till the next event so folks can respond in the same way.
