Reducing the Imminent Risk of Lethality Through Sensible Gun Laws and a Culture of Safety

By Frank Costa, President, Nexgen Protection Services

How Sensible Gun Laws Can Help:

1. Gun Safety
   • Sensible gun laws can reduce easy access to dangerous weapons.
   • We must establish a culture of gun safety.
2. Reducing Access
   • Firearm access should be restricted for youth and individuals at risk of harming themselves or others.
3. Accountability
   • The gun industry must be held accountable. There should be adequate oversight regarding the marketing and sale of guns and ammunition.
4. Engagement
   • We need to engage responsible gun dealers and owners in finding solutions.
5. Mandatory Training and Licensing
   • Insist on mandatory training and licensing for gun owners.
6. Safe Storage
   • Require safe and secure gun storage to prevent unauthorized access.

Addressing the Underlying Contributors to Gun Violence:
To reduce risks and build resilience in individuals, families, and communities, we must focus on these key areas:

1. Public Health Solutions
   • Gun violence should be recognized as a critical and preventable public health issue.
2. Comprehensive Solutions
   • Support the creation and implementation of community safety plans that prioritize prevention and intervention.
3. Trauma, Connection, and Services
   • Expand access to high-quality, culturally competent, and coordinated social, emotional, and mental health services. These services should specifically address the impact of trauma.
