In arguing over causes of the latest mass shooting, political debate often overlooks the range of incremental steps that could lessen the chances of mass killing and help address the nation’s persistent gun violence.

, but many of his Republican colleagues said they will only support measures that would have made a difference in Uvalde.

“A challenge we face here is that everybody is looking for one answer, one thing. That doesn’t exist,” said Jaclyn Schildkraut, associate professor of criminal justice at State University of New York at Oswego. “We’re dealing with very complex phenomena that go in spider webs in so many different directions but all weaved together.”

Going through background checks or having to wait several days to buy a gun, he argued, isn’t an infringement on someone’s Second Amendment rights. “One law is good, but it’s just a starting point,” he said. “The more laws you have, the more effective your framework will be. If you want to do the best job possible, you have to take a comprehensive approach.”

Sheldon Jacobson, a professor of computer sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, said the idea of creating layers of gun policies to prevent future mass shootings is similar to the work he did in creating risk-based assessments that led to the development of Transportation Security Administration PreCheck in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks of 2001.

A gun store cannot tell who's a bad guy, who will fire the gun in hate, rage, jealousy, or greed. That could be anybody. If there is 'a good guy' he probably doesn't own a gun.He doesn't kill animals for fun or need it to protect 'his women' or a false construct of skin color.

Bad guys without guns will never happen. Even Europe criminals own AKs etc. That’s a wishful thinking

. Proving that one bad guy with a gun has nothing to fear from a dozen cowards with military weaponry Uvalde UvaldePoliceCowards UvaldePolice

Texas lands at the bottom again.

What we know about the five family members slain by an escaped murderer in TexasThe killing of a grandfather and his four grandsons at their Centerville ranch by an escaped convict last week has left Tomball residents mourning the loss of a large family who was active in church, sports and the Tomball school district. What I don't understand is how this was allowed to happen. He had escaped previously and was known to be high risk. Could medical attention not have been brought to the prison? I'd bet 10 bucks the grandfather had a gun and it didn't protect anyone. And you can't even keep convicts locked up, Texas . Why anyone would ever consider Texas a place worth living is beyond me, especially if you're a woman .
