Nearly 300,000 lives could be saved in the next decade if states followed California\u2019s example on gun laws, study says<\/a><\/p>\n

Right, yeah sure ya betcha. Read the screed if you want, then come back to this<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Everytown designated five foundational laws that they say have proven to be the most effective in lowering gun violence rates \u2013 all of which are in effect in New York and California. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

They include requirements for a background check and\/or permits to purchase firearms; a permit to carry concealed guns in public; the secure storage of firearms; the rejection of \u2018Stand Your Ground\u2019 laws; and the enactment of \u2018extreme risk\u2019 laws that temporarily remove a person\u2019s access to firearms when there is evidence that they pose a serious risk to themselves or others.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Notice how “assault weapon” bans are nowhere on this list, and yet that’s what they are always calling for. Strange.<\/em><\/p>\n

But as for this list?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Background check and\/or permits to purchase.<\/strong> Near-universal background checks already exist. If you want to make background checks better,\u00a0 allocate more funding to make the existing system better and more efficient. And,<\/em> open it up to the public so people can run their own checks\u00a0 before selling a gun.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    A permit to carry concealed guns in public.<\/strong> Such has never yet stopped the criminal element from carrying a gun and everyone knows it. But, they have finally come to admit that law abiding people do carry.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Secure storage.<\/strong> Awesome. Let’s subsidize the purchase of gun safes, trigger locks, etc.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Rejection of “Stand Your Ground” laws.<\/strong> The various “stand your ground” laws aren’t gun laws at all,\u00a0 they are criminal defense statutes <\/em><\/strong>that provide that person doesn’t have to run away before they can defend themselves.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Extreme risk laws.<\/strong>\u00a0If only there was a way to go further and physically restrain a dangerous person who had made credible threats of violence, based on a finding of probable cause by a judicial officer.
    \nOh, wait: That’s called an arrest.<\/em><\/strong> How about we just arrest people who make felony threats?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And the vast majority are suicides, so I really don’t figure how<\/p>\n
