    Have long thought that the term "gun control" is bad political framing; implies a desire for the Govt. to use "controlling" mechanisms (i.e., criminal law) to ensure ubiquitous safety. "Violence prevention" -- which can include, but is not limited to, gun regulation -- is better.

        The first step would be to convince us that the government actually wants to prevent violence.

        Sounds like “don’t think of an elephant.” (Lakoff.) I agree with you on the message framing, intervention aspect. Frankly, I became cynical after Sandy Hook & living here. Nothing animates the right like this issue.

        America has a high tolerance for other people’s suffering. King’s 3 evils of - militarism, white supremacy, patriarchy - right wing culture. Mass shootings tend to be right wing men with penchants for violence. Certain guns just make mass slaughter possible. This could change.

        Journos and pols get hung up on "framing", a fantasy fostered by people with closed minds, because how could you possibly be wrong? "Violence prevention" already creates gun free zones that assure gun criminals free reign. Most people just laugh at such political misnomers.

        I think the current “gun reform” has the best legs.

        For "violence prevention", the Government has to be dismantled. Which "they" will never do.
