abstract="This article provides an overview of current knowledge about the relationship between mental illness, violence, homicides, and suicides, with a view towards  crafting sensible public policy options for reducing gun violence towards self or  others. With this knowledge as a backdrop, the limitations of the federal National  Instant Background Check System (NICS) as both over-inclusive and under-inclusive in  identifying people with mental illness who pose potential risks are discussed. Finally, the article describes emerging approaches for identifying and removing  firearms from persons who pose potential risks of gun violence towards self or  others, including Extreme Risk Protection Orders (&quot;Red Flag Laws&quot;) and other  options.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
