We use the prescribing cascade to deal with gun violence in the US

In a prescribing cascade, instead of removing the source of the symptom, we prescribe meds to mask the problem

In the US, Instead of removing guns, we waste money on Kevlar backpacks and bullet resistant tables

Let’s stop throwing pills at the problem
Let’s stop throwing Kevlar at the problem

Let’s. Remove. Guns.

ILLINOIS RESIDENTS! Contact your state legislators to support HB5855
"The Illinois proposal would not only ban assault weapons and large capacity magazines, but would also establish a federal-state partnership to stop the flow of illegal guns into Chicago from states with more lenient gun laws. In fact, 60% guns recovered by Chicago police come from outside Illinois."
