#TulsaShooting

It's very important that we do not see these preventable tragedies as "normal," and become complacent about them.

The issue is NOT primarily about guns, but a comprehensive gun control strategy is needed, and I provide more info about that in this thread:

I was one of many who said in the first few months of the pandemic that the already high rates of interpersonal violence and self-harm and indeed terrorism, would skyrocket.

Coupled with that is my longstanding concern about security inside hospital and medical facilities.

It's far too early to know enough about the Tulsa shooting to comment on it.

But mass shootings at healthcare facilities is a topic I wrote about in November 2018, below.

And the incident in Chicago ties in with what @beautfc recently proposed as a far better solution than banning access to certain firearm types. His proposal is relevant to domestic violence-inspired mass shootings:

I think this comprehensive strategy proposed by @beautfc has merit and should be considered urgently:

The places where mass shootings occur are an important part of the picture that must be considered, IMO.

Schools and hospitals contain vulnerable people. There are many other places like these.

Those in charge have a clearer & higher duty of care in prevention & mitigation.
