To add to other comments, gun violence has a massive mental health component for which preventative treatment can save many lives. Of course it warrants study! And given the well-documented copycat-killer phenomenon, modeling it similarly to an epidemic is very reasonable. | ||

I’ve always found this to be an absurd political position: - shooting deaths are not a gun problem, they’re a mental health problem. So we won’t fix anything by solving the gun problem. “Ok… can we solve the mental health problem, then?” - also no. |
