Guns aren't going anywhere. Repeat your objections all you want, there will be more guns in circulation at the end of this year, at the end of 2025, 2030, etc. I have three members of my extended family that have bought handguns over the past few years, I'll probably pick up a handgun soon, an AR-15 someday when I leave the city.
Americans need guns for self/family defense and the country as a whole needs guns in the hands of individuals to preserve individual rights from infringement of the State.
Funny, it wasn't too long ago that all the gun-haters were talking nonstop about how a Russia-controlled, neo-nazi, white supremacist had just entered the presidency. We all knew they were b@tsh&t crazy at the time but if someday a real left-wing fascist takes power only an armed citizenry will be able to restore the republic.
Every so often a mass shooting will occur - that's the cost we must bear.
Guns aren't going anywhere - solve for another variable.
