This is all correct. I don’t think there’s any limit of deaths that will sway enough Republicans in gerrymandered districts to pass any meaningful legislation. I think 50,000 Americans could get shot and killed every day and nothing would change.
You should be happy since Democrats do most of the killing.
Don't have time to read 18 pages but I am sure this has been touched on.
Sensible gun reforms will never happen because the GOP is fully funded and sold out to the NRA. The vast Majority of Americans want sensible gun reforms. Even Gun owners want sensible gun reforms. But the GOP does not care because they are bought and paid for by the NRA. And the NRA is funded by Russian Mob money who like the US to be in Chaos. Meanwhile mass shootings will keep happening and citizenry will be distracted w. gaslight bickering on whether the shooters was mentally ill. Whether doors were locked. Video games. Whether there are more shootings in Democrat states vs GOP states. And the Fox News of the world will quickly spin that the left is going to "come take their guns" like fascists.
Then within a day or so the story will fade away again.
The Sandy Hook shooting was the turning point and proved that the US is OK with mass shootings and dead kids simply are not that big of a deal. At least not a big enough deal to get men to feel they could ever part with their God given right to possess a toy that makes them feel manly.

I have to think two things:
1/ if white kids were being shot to death at the same rate as black kids, the white moms in this country would revolt and pass gun control
2/ if black kids were regularly shooting up white schools...or even if black guys were parading their AR-15s through white neighborhoods...then we'd have gun control pretty quickly.
It completely depends. If whites kept shooting each other in white ghettoes, but that was virtually all of the white violence, nobody would care. If wealthy suburban whites shot each other like inner city blacks do (which is almost impossible, but anyway), there would be calls for gun control.
Most people don't care about black crime because it's gang members killing each other in the hood.

It's a sign of mental perversion that you think anyone cares who's "doing the killing." Your fixation on the identities of murderers is, actually, revolting. I would be thrilled for Democrats, trans and queer kids, Black and Brown kids--as well as Republican, straight, and White people--to be forbidden from having guns. Most of us just want to live in a civilized country.

Murder is not ok. I’ll bring it back to base level from someone who has voted both sides on the political aisle. We should have police, common sense laws and regulation. And murder is bad. Sorry in advance if this is offensive.

It's a sign of mental perversion that you're defending a cult member who went to a religious school and was indoctrinated with occult views of the afterlife, spent school time reading sacred texts instead reading writing and arithmetic, while being taught the superiority of her religion over others. What's worse, the school is in a region where Christianity has a regional bent of worshipping weapons. The Christian member of congress of the shooter's district sent a Christmas card with his entire family sporting weapons, standing cheerily in front of a Christmas Treet. Death cult. Most of us just want to live in a civilized country.

The Colorado Springs shooter identified as non binary. The Denver shooter identified as trans. The Aberdeen shooter identified as trans. The Nashville shooter identified as trans
here is an easier trend dish!t,
The Colorado Springs shooter had easy access to guns. The Denver shooter had easy access to guns. The Aberdeen shooter had easy access to guns. The Nashville shooter had easy access to guns.
What about the 100+ other shooting this year?
My grandfather and his siblings in the Depression had easy access to guns. They took them to school every day because they hunted on the way to and from school. They never shot up anything except some rabbits and squirrels. What's the difference now? Access to guns doesn't have anything to do with it. Rural kids have had access to guns forever.
All this talk again about what should we do to reduce firearm violence and deaths. It's not rocket science and numerous nations are able to have a fraction of the deaths that we have. Look at Japan. They average 10 firearm deaths annually. The U.S. over 40K. How about we pass laws like France:
Category D requires the owner to be older than 18.
Category C requires the owner to be older than 18, have hunting, shooting or ball-trap license of the current year stamped by a doctor.
Category B requires the owner to be older than 18, be affiliated with a shooting range, have attended at least 3 shooting sessions with an instructor, and have a medical certificate. The shooter then receives a 5-year authorization to purchase and own of Category B firearms (and therefore Category C firearms since they are affiliated with a shooting range).
Category A11 and A12 purchase not allowed since August 1st 2018, for gun ownership before its same requirement as Category B.
No civilian may carry any weapons in a public place. A special form allows a civilian to apply for a 1-year carry license, which allows them to carry a handgun and a maximum of 50 rounds if they are "exposed to exceptional risks to their life". In practice, such authorizations are rare. Exceptions exist for children and teenagers with a shooting or ball-trap license and parental approval. A child aged between 9 and 12 can own D categorized weapon that shoot projectiles In a non pyrotechnic way between 2 and 20 joules. A teenager aged 12 to 16 can own C and D categorized weapons. They can also own one-shot, rimfire Category B firearms if they participate in international shooting competitions (only with a shooting licence).
A shooter between the ages of 16 and 18 who has a shooting, hunting or ball-trap license can own C and D categorized weapons. They can also own Category B firearms if they participate in international shooting competitions(only with a shooting licence).
Carrying a gun is defined as having a gun by one's side on a public place ready to use. Transporting a gun is defined as having an unloaded, locked or disassembled gun and having a legitimate reason (personal defence doesn't qualify) for doing so in a public place. A legitimate reason to transport a firearm is a legal document like a hunting, shooting, collector, or ball-trap licence. Hunting, collector and ball-trap licences only work for D and C categorized weapon transportation. A shooting licence works for A, B, C and D categorized weapons.
Showing a firearm in public to scare people can be a charge of public disorder.
The same people who steer our foreign policy that kills hundreds of thousands of people all over the world with guns, bombs, drones, bioweapons, starvation, etc. are pushing taking away guns in America.
You trust them?
Good example is Mike Bloomberg who founded and funs the biggest anti gun org around, Everytown for Gun Safety. Same guy who has been pushing for war with Iran for decades.

No; if you’re a company selling weapons to US/Ukraine you have no problem selling them to US citizens. It’s not that hard. It’s called capitalism.
