Wolf executive order

[father-of-five]

It sounds like grandstanding to me.

[STBear]

He's pandering to his liberal base in the cities that are calling for the "end of gun violence". A problem created not by guns but by their own poor parenting skills, gangs and drugs. Along with bored liberal suburban social justice warriors and DA's that don't believe in locking up miscreants it's easier to blame guns and make it look like he is doing something than fix the real problems.

Are these people so stupid that they think a person set on killing themselves needs a gun? That these laws will really do anything to fix the root causes of the violence? There enough examples of places with strict gun laws that prove that gun control doesn't work but they just want to pander for votes. They don't give a shit about anything but getting reelected.

Lay on your back and piss up a rope Wolfe.

Governor Wolf’s Gun Violence Prevention Executive Order

Too many Pennsylvanians are losing their lives to gun violence. More than 1,600 people died in Pennsylvania from gunshot wounds in 2017, a rate above the national average. While all types of violence must be addressed, guns account for the weapon used in 74 percent of all homicides and 52 percent of fatal suicides in Pennsylvania. The spikes in gun violence have led to billions of taxpayer dollars going toward efforts to increase security in schools and other public places and provide medical care to survivors, while families and communities have suffered invaluable losses when loved ones die of senseless gun violence.

Governor Tom Wolf recognizes a balance must exist between the rights provided in the Second Amendment and the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. He is taking executive action to provide greater protection for Pennsylvanians by targeting all types of gun violence with both preventative and proactive programs.

Gov. Wolf recognizes that executive action alone cannot end gun violence in Pennsylvania. He is calling upon the General Assembly to:

• Take up safe storage legislation to reduce the number of shootings by people who should not have access to guns, including accidental shootings by children.
• Swiftly pass the Extreme Risk Protection Order Act, also known as the red flag law.
• Pursue state-level universal background checks on all gun purchases.

He will continue to work with the House of Representatives and the Senate as they convene for the fall session to further develop and pass legislation that will reduce the number of lives lost to gun violence in Pennsylvania.

EXECUTIVE ACTIONS
Governor Wolf’s Executive Order will immediately implement the following:

Special Subcommittee on Gun Violence

• Housed at the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD), the Special Subcommittee on Gun Violence will consist of representatives from the following:
  
  • One representative from each of PCCD’s existing advisory committees including the Children’s Advocacy Center Advisory Committee, Criminal Justice Advisory Committee, the Mental Health and Justice Advisory Committee, the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Committee, the Victims’ Services Advisory Committee, the School Safety and Security Committee, and the Sheriffs and Deputy Sheriffs Education and Training Board;

• The Council will meet within 60 days of the signing of the Executive Order and will be responsible for the following:
  
  • Adopting a public health and community engagement strategy that includes gun owners, health care professionals, and victims of gun-related incidents,

  • Reviewing best practices and making recommendations that keep weapons from dangerous individuals,
  • Identifying and defining strategies across Commonwealth agencies to align resources to reduce gun violence, and;

  • The Office of Gun Violence Prevention will also staff a new Special Council on Gun Violence, which will meet within 60 days of the executive order signing to begin developing a comprehensive plan to reduce gun violence.
  
  
• Direct all departments to engage in a statewide effort at combatting the systemic causes of violence, namely poverty, economic opportunities, mental and behavioral health supports, and hopelessness.
• Establish a Violence Data Dashboard to provide a better understanding of the scope, frequency, geography, and populations affected by violence, including counts, rates, and factors contributing to violence.

Reducing Community Gun Violence

• Expand and support gun buyback programs through the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) and municipal police departments.
• Direct PSP and the Municipal Police Officers’ Education and Training Commission (MPOETC) to develop training on community gun violence prevention, focused deterrence, and lost and stolen firearms reporting requirements for law enforcement.
• Increase data sharing among jurisdictions to ensure broad geographical data is represented and tracked at the state level.
• Partner with the courts to grow awareness and utilization of evidence based juvenile justice programs that are proven to reduce violent crimes.
• Expand Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS), a proactive approach to improving school safety and promoting positive behavior, in schools statewide.

Combatting Mass Shootings

• Charge PSP with expanding their monitoring of hate groups, white nationalists, and other fringe organizations and individuals, and conducting investigations, online and in communities, related to any threats of violence by these groups or individuals.
• Expand the “See Something/Send Something” program to receive reports of suspicions of mass shootings by text and use a campaign to raise awareness of the ability to contact police by text.
• Coordinate PSP and MPOTEC with local first responders to develop training on how to facilitate and handle warnings of suspicions of potential mass shootings.
