Empowering self-restriction: Donna's Law -- Analogies, choices, and constraints -- Laboratories of democracy -- Part II. Harnessing others' association preferences: Emails and the associational marketplace -- Libertarian contracting and its limits -- Privatizing gun-free zones -- Part III. Harnessing others' information: Symptom-based gun removal orders -- Unlawful possession petitions -- Incentivizing bottom-up gun control Ayres and Vars identify ten policies that can be immediately adopted at the state level to reduce the number of gun-related deaths without affecting the rights of gun owners. For example, Donna's Law, a voluntary program whereby individuals can choose to restrict their ability to purchase or possess firearms, can significantly decrease suicide rates. Amending Red Flag statutes, which allow judges to restrict access to guns when an individual has shown evidence of dangerousness, can give police flexible and effective tools to keep people safe. Encouraging the use of unlawful possession petitions can help communities remove guns from more than a million Americans who are legally disqualified from owning them. By embracing these and other new forms of decentralized gun control, the United States can move past partisan gridlock and save lives now"-- |
