Why aren't there PSA's about gun violence?

[Marthe48]

We have PSA's about suicide, drug use, DUI, alcoholism, domestic violence, and so many other behaviors that are either harmful to the person or to others.

We need gun violence PSA's-

If you are having the urge to go out and shoot into a crowd of people, STOP and THINK! If you can't THINK, STOP. Wait 24 hours. Talk to someone you trust. Go to your place of worship. Do anything but pull the trigger.


I can't think of anything clever. But big gaping silence about this mental health/anti-social behavior.

1. I wonder if it somehow triggers (pardon the pun) those so inclined

Just like how one mass shooting seems to set off a bunch more.

Of course, I have no idea, so don’t go by me.

2. For me - I go a lot deeper......

I wonder why we have a government filled with people that don't care about gun violence.

3. Congress finally rescinded its ban on CDC studies of gun violence.
