As missed warning signs pile up in investigations of mass killings, New York state is rolling out a new strategy to screen applicants for gun permits.
As missed warning signs pile up in investigations of mass killings, New York state is rolling out a novel strategy to screen applicants for gun permits. People seeking to carry concealed handguns will be required to hand over their social media accounts for a review of their"character and conduct."
Sheriffs haven't received additional money or staffing to handle a new application process, said Peter Kehoe, the executive director of the New York Sheriffs' Association. The law, he asserted, infringes on Second Amendment rights, and while applicants must list their social media accounts, he doesn't think local officials will necessarily look at them.
Increasingly, young men have gone online to drop hints of what's to come before executing a mass killing, including the gunman who killed 19 children and two teachers at aUnder the law, applicants have to provide local officials with a list of current and former social media accounts from the previous three years.
"The question should be: Can we do this in an anti-racist way that does not create another set of violence, which is the state violence that happens through surveillance?" said University of Pennsylvania social policy, communications and medicine professor Desmond Upton Patton, who also founded SAFElab, a research initiative studying violence involving youths of color.
Densley noted it can be challenging to decode social media posts by younger people, who could simply be expressing themselves by posting a music video. New York should instead consider giving the job to a trained group tasked with figuring out how to best reach out to people online who are showing signs of radicalization or trauma and may need help, Patton said.
