Gun violence is a public health epidemic \u2014 not a partisan issue, and demands smart, strategic policy solutions. These don\u2019t need to be extreme: we can protect the Second Amendment and stop mass shootings simultaneously by implementing policies like these:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Extreme Risk Protection Orders<\/strong>: Many states offer families the option of temporarily transferring firearms from loved ones who may be in crisis. Policies like this help prevent gun violence and suicide, and because they are about taking action before a gun is misused, they also protect Second Amendment rights. It is critical that states that have these invest in ensuring communities know when and how to use this vital, life-safety tool.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Expanded Background Checks<\/strong>: Closing the Violent Hate Crimes Loophole (among others) in our background checks system would prohibit the sale of firearms to individuals who have been convicted of threatening others with a deadly weapon or assaulting someone based on their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Safe Storage Policies<\/strong>: Keeping firearms locked separately from ammunition protects young people from both accidental and intentional gun violence. We need to strengthen safe storage requirements and increase access to secure storage options for families.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We have to come together, as a country, to stop gun violence. Each and every one of us has the power \u2014 and the duty \u2014 to help. From elected officials to ordinary neighbors, we have the ability to make a difference \u2014 and the difference you make could save lives. Please learn the warning signs and get help immediately if you observe them. And please tell your elected officials to enact these sensible gun policies now.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/robb-elementary-school.jpeg?w=1024\" alt=\"Mourners gather at a memorial at City of Uvalde Town Square following mass shooting at Robb Elementary School\" class=\"wp-image-22450241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/robb-elementary-school.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/robb-elementary-school.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/robb-elementary-school.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Barden says that gun violence is a public health epidemic \u2014 not a partisan issue.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">James Keivom<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Mark Barden is co-founder and managing director of Sandy Hook Promise Action Fund, and the father of Daniel, who was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy on Dec. 14, 2012.<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
