Time to go on offense to take care of this mass shooting problem

[abajaj11]

It's time to go on offense to take care of this problem.
Banning ARs or restricting them will not do it, since the next nut job will use a pump shotgun, or a semi auto shotgun.
What is needed is real legislation, while we have the legislature and the white house.
We need to start calling our reps, Senators and the WH comments line to push for 2 things:
1. Remove the artificial gun-free designation that prevents licensed law abiding good people from carrying self defense firearms in schools,
2. Reduce the prescription of psychotropic drugs that cause homicidal ideation, and make doctors and patients aware of the consequences,

We need to take care of this problem, before the anti-RKBA crowd uses this to get their way.

WH Comment line: 202-456-1414.

Time to make those calls at least once a week, just like when Sandy Hook took place.
They need to understand that attacking the 2A is a vote loser, and we need to take real steps to fix this artificially created problem of mass shootings, that is playing into the hands of those who would disarm America.

OMG. Another one. lol

The problem is that now the mass shooting seems to have reached a point where the anti RKBA are smelling blood and think they can really start eating away at 2A.
I have had many independent people tell me that it's time for us 2Aers to do something, or the system will "over-correct" and people will lose liberty.
I think we need to actually start getting pro-active to fix this problem, rather than taking a passive, somewhat defensive attitude and simply saying things like "guns don't kill people/ cannot punish the law abiding for criminals," etc.

Hopefully it won't come to the 2nd having to defend the 1st. Kneejerk reactions are just that but if enough believe the reactions then something WILL happen--I don't think anyone including myself want to see it come to that though.

The problem can be easily solved with 2 things:
1. Remove the artificial designation of schools as gun-free zones, this only prevents good people who can prevent a mass shooting from being there.
2. Reduce the prescription of psychotropic drugs to children, because they cause homicidal ideation.
Both these have zero cost.
We need to really start pushing for both of these by calling our senators, congressman and the WH comment line and telling them NO GUN CONTROL. Make real changes that will have an effect instead.

The problem could have been solved in 1 step if the Justice Dept. would have done the job they're paid to do.

Have you noticed the amount of voices calling for new laws? So have the legislators. Where are the voices from our side? Yes, there have been a few try, and maybe even some of us tried a couple of times in the past to get the ear of a rep or sen. And we have probably felt our words fell on deaf ears.

So, let's just sit around and complain to each other. Or, we could do just what to OP has suggested. Go on the offensive. Keep calling, go visit, get active on the election process, donate to a candidate, there are any number of things we should be doing.

But getting abusive, or in any way acting like the Neanderthals some in the media attempt to portray us will only have negative results.

We may not agree with all the ideas suggested in the OP, but the discussion has to start somewhere. Grab an idea and start talking!

The problem isn’t the instrument used, it’s the person using it. Laws will only affect those who obey them.

Very similar to one of the points I made to my Rep, Senators, and the President earlier this week.

I agree, and my letters to my Representatives and Senators have been sent.
