"Medical Research" To Fix Murder Problem (??)

Since the medical establishment has really good credibility following the Chinese Communist Flu outbreak, they thought they'd step up and solve the murder problem, too!!

Uh-huh.

The epidemic of gun violence is uniquely American and is entirely preventable. 

Sure!  ENTIRELY preventable!!  100%!!!  Guar-an-f*n-teed!! 

(And ignore all that gun violence in Africa and Asia, too  Those people don't count.)

Next, let's rely on one study which relates hunting-rifle and suicides to gun violence, because it's obvious that hunters and suicides............ahhh........hmmmm.........something something.  Is that study adjusted for population?  See, in Wyoming there are a lot less 'firearms deaths' because there are a lot less people than in, say, Chicago.

... According to the Milwaukee Homicide Review Commission, more than 90% of lives lost to homicide in the last two years in Milwaukee involved a firearm....

You forgot "drug-gang related" in that sentence, guys.  You also forgot the geography involved there.

Now let's make self-defense impossible!!!

.... Safe storage strategies include keeping them unloaded, locked (with a gun lock device and in a locked storage cabinet), and stored separately from ammunition....

If you thought the 911 response time was slow, just try unlocking the cabinet, unlocking the gun, finding the ammo, loading the gun, and THEN presenting it to the goblin (who has already shot your ass 10 times....)

It's also helpful to the "creds" to write inane stuff like this:

...background checks are not currently required for guns sold by unlicensed dealers such as through private purchase, online sales, or gun shows....

"Unlicensed dealers"???  What's that?  The guy on 16th and Clarke selling stolen .45's from his car?

"Private purchase"--you mean when the neighbor sells you his old .45?  YOU need a "background check"?  Or when you give your old .30-30 to your son--HE needs a background check?

Sure.

... . Extreme Risk Protection laws, sometimes referred to as “Red Flag” laws, can provide a mechanism for family, friends, or law enforcement to prevent someone from accessing guns who is in the midst of a crisis and his is typically done by petitioning a court for a temporary order. There is evidence that states with the lowest gun death rates have similar laws in place.....

Except for the TOTAL LACK of Due Process, it almost sounds like it's American.  That "mechanism" is also used by PO'd ex-spouses, PO'd next-door neighbors, or anyone else who would like to put you through the wringer.  Fire anyone lately, boss??

...Utilizing tools such as conducting threat assessments and identification programs can help to intervene with potentially violent behavior. Additionally, regular monitoring of social media and intervening swiftly when concerning messages are present can prevent violence.  ...

Worked really well in Uvalde and Buffalo, didn't it?  And Parkland, too!!!!

Then there's the Thought Police angle:

...A strategy can be to pass laws to restrict the ability of individuals who have been convicted of a hate crime from legally buying or possessing a firearm....

And "straw purchase".  They're going to fix that, too!!

 ...Straw purchasing occurs when someone purchases a firearm with the intention of giving it to someone else who is prohibited from purchasing one, which is illegal under federal law....

OK. So?

... not all states have laws to prevent straw purchasing....

There is a FEDERAL LAW, dummies!!  Can't you read your own essay??

It gets better!

...Ways to combat straw purchasing are: Requiring universal background checks for firearm transfers (which has demonstrated a significant reduction in homicide rates); penalizing those who acquire firearms with the intent to transfer to a person who is prohibited from owning a firearm...

Yah, because that "unlicensed dealer" on 16th and Clarke will--no doubt--run a background check on Jawanameeka the drug-dealer before taking his $500.00 cash for a $200.00 Saturday Night Special.  Sure.  Uh-huh.
