If you extrapolate from FBI data, 90%+ of gun deaths come from handguns. Banning handguns is a hopeless endeavor - there are two Supreme Court cases from 2008 and 2010 that effectively cement handgun ownership as a constitutional right.
You could try a couple pages out of the California playbook with the handgun roster and ammo background checks to make getting them and using them kind of a pain in the ass.
I honestly don’t know what you do otherwise to make dent otherwise.
Bad timing for this meme. I do not trust the cops, esepcially not now. Correct course of action is to disband the police and create well-regulated militias (regulated by the people themselves, not the state). I see you're from dbzer0, you should know that cops aren't to be trusted.
Also: Dems really need to drop the gun issue if they hope to win an election, going "Beto O' Rourke" every election isn't helping.

Because those issues are about protecting the status quo power structure, not about protecting kids.
Here's what I've often wondered: why, when the Constitution clearly indicates that bearing of arms is in the context of a" well-regulated militia", is it not permissible, under the Constitution, to regulate firearms? Do the second amendment types have any kind of argument about this? It just seems to me that within the context of the amendment itself, it's clearly implied that regulation will be necessary and will exist. Is there something that I'm missing?
If you cared at all you'd actually read up on the context and interpretation of the 2nd amendment.
Well, that latest mass shooting in the media was done by a trans person, yea? And Trump's busy deploying National Guard units to most blue states in an authoritarian/fascist push....
So I imagine, that the left may have a chance of getting gun control on the agenda this time. Though it may not look like how they want it to. It'd be gun control to deny lgbtq+ and blue voters guns.
3600....so far.
Sadly, no they do not.
There is no consequence for supporting accountability-free gun purchases and ownership, even after Uvalde, where all of the politicians involved were re-elected.
Welcome to the comments: Here you’ll find
IDF: 36000
I thought it was way more
probably...
In Japan there was zero child deaths by guns. They have a little less than half the population of the US but none of the gun deaths.
3000 people died one time in 2001 and the US government used the fear and rage to wage war and commit war crimes in multiple countries including those that had nothing to do with the attack for the next 20 years.
3000 children die at least every two years in the US and there's not enough fear and rage to wage war on the fucking NRA.
kinda makes you wish the gun manufacturers and their lobbyists were a bunch of brown skinned people, that shit would've been shut down pretty damn quick huh.
