Buffalo Shooting

Or those who claim it's a mental health issue and then slash mental health funding...

Gov. Abbott calls for more mental health resources, but he redirected millions from Texas’ health agency

State leaders moved money from agencies such as the Texas’ Health and Human Services Commission to finance a border security mission.

Also, why would they want to arm a bunch of groomer pedophiles with guns around the children?
Cant trust a teacher to even talk to a child or teach a child but can totally trust them to have guns around children right? Makes total sense.

It's a multifaceted issue. They can't grasp the complexity. Or they refuse to acknowledge it. No one thing is going to entirely stop this aside from a military operation to confiscate all weapons and stop all weapon sales in the US.

Don't forget, there are more guns than people in this country. Even if everyone was willing to give them up (and some would very violently object) it would still take a loooooong time.

Guns need ammo. Ban the production, sale, and ownership of ammo immediately, and you'll see the difference.

Many people reload. You'd get a cottage industry ala prohibition speak-easies for ammo.

It's a finite supply. It would run out eventually.

At least a lot less people would have ammo though. And those people would be risking getting caught.

Beau brought up an interesting point. While the current SCOTUS would probably strike down any gun regulations, they have shown some acceptance towards banning certain PEOPLE from having guns.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 60% of all mass shootings are done by someone with a history of domestic violence.

Brass is reusable. The projectiles are easily made at home. It really isn't a finite supply.

But most mass shooters and probably almost all criminals aren't going to become reloaders.

No but reloaders will become sellers. Like I said, like speak-easies. During prohibition people didn't all start making their own moonshine, and those that did many started selling what they made.

Plus the backlash against something like this would be untenable. It is a thought, but just would never happen.

The buy back went pretty well here after the Port Arthur massacre, you know it was the carrot and stick approach, good money was paid for weapons but also there were heavy penalties for non compliance. Granted its a very different culture.

Nothing will change. We've made our gun culture decisions too long ago. We are what we deserve.
