A Comprehensive Approach to Mass Shootings

 

Here's a comprehensive approach to mass shootings:

  1. Tax guns and ammo proportional to their potential harm. Higher for high-capacity firearms or large quantities of ammo. Special tax on individuals who own more than 5 guns. Revenue used for gun safety education, mental health and law enforcement.
  2. GPS locator requirement: require all new firearms to be equipped with a GPS locator, including 3D printed guns. Older guns must be retrofitted to be legal. Track lost or stolen firearms, monitor the movement of guns in high-risk areas. Privacy addressed by limiting access to this information. As part of this, credit card companies should track sales of firearms and ammunition.
  3. Insurance requirement: all gun owners must have liability insurance to cover potential damages caused. 
  4. Universal background checks: Implement comprehensive background checks for all firearm purchases, including private sales and gun shows. 
  5. Mandatory waiting period.
  6. Allow family members and law enforcement officers to petition courts to temporarily remove firearms from individuals who pose a threat.
  7. Gun safety education.
  8. Invest in mental health programs.
  9. Assault weapon restrictions. 
  10. Fund research on the causes of gun violence and the effectiveness of various policy interventions.
  11. Establish a centralized database of information on mass shootings, details about the perpetrator(s), weapons used, and circumstances of the incident. Identify trends and patterns.
  12. Address extremism and radicalization, including "gun culture" fetishism. Counteract extremist groups and ideologies that promote violence. 
  13. Age-specific interventions: Implement policies and programs that target specific age groups.
  14. Acknowledge and address the role of race and socioeconomic factors.
  15. Develop and fund initiatives that promote social cohesion, and foster a sense of belonging.
  16. Work closely with law enforcement agencies to monitor and share information about extremist groups or individuals with a history of violence. 
  17. Educate the population about the warning signs of radicalization, the risks of firearms.
  18. Continuously evaluate the effectiveness of these policies and interventions by an index measuring their impact on gun violence rates and other relevant outcomes. Refine and improve.

Maternal Health Financing Facility for Black Women: A Solution to an Urgent Problem

Maternal mortality is a significant issue in the United States, with Black women disproportionately affected. Research conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has shown that Black women are more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than their white counterparts. However, the issue is not new, and despite the increasing amount of data available, the disparities have remained unaddressed for far too long.  Creative Investment Research (CIR) is among the organizations that believe there is a solution to the problem. Through our proposed impact investing vehicle , the Maternal Health Financing Facility for Black Women (MHFFBW), we aim to tackle the mortality gap and support Black women during childbirth, which will, in turn, benefit their communities. The Facility, based on legally binding financing agreements containing terms and conditions that direct resources to individuals and institutions capable of addressing supply-side conditions at the heart of

BRICS Summit 2023: Navigating the Transformation of Global Finance

Recent developments in the global financial landscape have captured the attention of the finance world, promising a new era of integration, transformation, and collaboration. Amidst the excitement, however, it is essential to acknowledge the formidable obstacles that stand in the way of realizing these ambitions. The 2023 BRICS Summit , slated to convene amidst this shifting landscape, is poised to be a significant juncture that could have profound implications for the future of international finance. The resurgence of Bitcoin, marked by an impressive, if smaller, year-to-date price surge, has underscored its enduring relevance. Similar concerns surround the exploration of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). The UK's digital pound initiative, while forward-looking, raises questions about stability, security, and privacy and potential economic power imbalances. The notion of a BRICS digital currency, potentially extended to include several countries, reflects a desire to chall

Projected Impact of Gun Laws on Corporate Profits in Texas

More Fortune 500 companies are located in Texas than in any other state. Texas successfully used low taxes and minimal regulations as bait to recruit companies like Tesla and Oracle. The state promoted these “advantages” in ads highlighting their “free-market” environment and criticizing the "tax and spend policies of liberal leadership" in Democrat-run states. Four million people migrated to Texas over the past ten years. Our economic models predict a reversal, however. State of Texas corporations on the Fortune 1000 list generate $2.2 trillion in revenue, $158 billion in profit. They have a market value of $3.8 trillion and employ 2.5 million people nationwide. We continue to believe this increased corporate presence in Texas imposes a tax on the nation as a whole. Texas allows anyone 21 or older to carry handguns without training or licenses, and maintains lower gun purchase age limits. Beyond the recent abortion bill, which allows people to sue those who "aid and abe
