Ways to maybe stop gun violence - A Brainstorm

This is a work in progress post... as I hear ideas and think about them this will change/be updated.



- Stricter gun licensing.  Should everyone who wants a gun get one?
    - people with (or family with?) mental health problems, criminals,...

- Ban on assault weapons. Why do we need semi-automatic weapons?? Answer: we don't.

- Enforced gun safety training for gun owners and friends and family. Pass a shooting range test including safety checks.

- Better mental health services (I don't know what this would entail and there is no confirmation about the metal health state of Lanza)

- Tax guns more (Would this increase the black market?)

- Tax ammunition more

- Checks on safe storage of guns and ammunition

- Stop with the realistic violent video games/first person shooter.

- Encourage learning about ethics and morality in school


Unrealistic ideas:
- Ban all guns!
- Equip all teachers with guns!
- Have full time police officers at every school in America. (I think many schools have police officers that periodically come by though.)
