97Percent’s New Research-Based Policy Roadmap Reveals New Path to Dramatically Reduce Gun Violence<\/a><\/p>\n

97Percent Policy Roadmap<\/strong>
\nThe Policy Roadmap is a research-backed package guided by a simple core principle \u2013 gun safety policies should ensure that people who are at high risk for violence cannot access guns while simultaneously respecting the rights of law-abiding citizens. The package includes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Closing the Violent Misdemeanor Loophole.<\/strong> New federal and state policies would set violent misdemeanor crimes as the threshold for excluding people from purchasing or possessing a gun. The current felony threshold does not capture many violent crimes, including assault, battery, and stalking; lowering this threshold is the single most-effective measure to reduce crime and may reduce overall gun-related homicide rates by as much as 19%. Only four states currently have violent misdemeanor laws.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Implementing State-Level Gun Permit Laws.<\/strong> States would create a gun permitting system with two permits – a general one and one for concealed carry – both of which could be issued at the same time. Permits would be checked using a new background check system, as outlined below, and be valid for a period of years. Only 12 states currently require a permit to purchase a firearm.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Simplifying Universal Background Checks.<\/strong> New, simplified background checks as part of the gun permitting process would utilize both federal and state databases to ensure a potential permit holder has not been convicted of a violent misdemeanor or felony. Currently, only 11 states search state and local records as part of the background check process, even though many violent crimes are only tracked in state databases.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Implementing Red Flag Laws with Strong Due Process Protections.<\/strong> State-level laws would allow family members or law enforcement officials to petition a court to remove firearms from a person who is a threat while including strong provisions protecting gun owners\u2019 due process. Only 19 states have red flag laws and only 12 allow family members to petition for a protective order.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
