have renewed the conversation in Congress about possibly adopting national red flag laws.
Of 414 cases through 2018, some 91% involved males and 61% were non-Hispanic whites, the study said. UC Davis researchers are continuing to collect information on orders issued, but the initial report focused on 21 cases where 52 guns were removed from individuals.“Most subjects made explicit threats and owned firearms,” said the study, which is scheduled to be published in the next issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Wintemute said he has sent the study findings to members of Congress, including Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee and has a bill that would provide grants to states to design and enforce red flag programs. “Public mass shootings in Parkland, Florida; Aurora, Colorado; and Tucson, Arizona, among others, were committed by assailants known to family members, acquaintances, law enforcement agencies, and in some cases health professionals to be at a high risk for violence,” the study noted.
“It proves that strong gun control measures work,” Ting said Monday of the study. “You have potentially 21 people who could have carried out violent acts who aren’t able to because their guns were taken away.”
again !! what is going on in the US?
Sure stopped the garlic fest shooting. Oh wait...
Already? Wow that was quick. Everything will be fine now. Pay no attention to the left winger gun grabber behind the curtain.
'4 yrs after CA put its “red flag” in force, it appears to be helping to reduce the chance of mass shootings, according to the study' Really? According to oft cited Mother Jones 'US Mass Shootings, 1982-2019' report, CA saw: -- Con't --
'Mass shootings' don't happen too often. There is ongoing shootings almost everyday but most of it usually isn't 'fearful/pandering' enough to warrant national coverage.
Really? Not. And it makes people guilty until proven innocent. Gun control doesn’t work. Look at giltoy, Thousand Oaks, San Bernardino etc...
“We can’t prove that the orders are responsible for the outcome,” said Garen Wintemute, a professor of emergency medicine and the director of the Violence Prevention Research Program.
TIP O’ the DAY: Disarmament ONLY worked if it is a BI-LATERAL agreement. The U.S. can NOT continue to build a heavily equipped military police force here at home, and expect people to willingly surrender their ability to defend themselves. Jus’ sayin’
GUNS are created by COWARDS, GUNS are sold by other COWARDS, GUNS are purchased by the scariest of COWARDS, GUNS are then justified by the profiteer of COWARDS
What is the force that drives us to kill?
idk I still see police walking around with guns and 40% commit domestic violence so....
