That would be a good and fair solution, but it will never happen, as long as the 2nd Amendment and the current SC are in place..

That's not a bad idea!

I wish I shared your optimism about the peasants ever becoming angry and disgusted enough to force pols to give us the gun control we want and need. I feel the same way about how the peasants will continue to tolerate bought pols selling us out, in both major parties, to instead serve the rich and corporations, instead of us. I wish they would finally get ready to revolt, but I doubt it will ever happen, at least not while I'm still alive..

@TomMcGiverin With new generations growing up in fear, at some point action will need to take place. Living in a state of fear and uncertainty is not sustainable long term. It may take a generation or two for change to be demanded. In my opinion, it will happen at some point.

@Betty Probably right about that in the long term, but, as I said, I will be long dead by then, and also you too....

@TomMcGiverin Thanks a lot, Not! I am not a pessimistic person, I still have confidence in human nature. You may be right and I won't see the change in my lifetime but I still have hope that I will see the beginning of that change.

@Betty I may be right, I may be wrong, I hope I'm wrong. But I have never been very optimistic about the human nature of most people, just about that of certain individuals, who I have gotten to know, after choosing to have them in my life. Because I have found that most other individuals are, and would be, a waste of my time to engage with or be involved with voluntarily over time. Call me a snob, and you would be right, guilty as charged....

As for ever seeing the beginning of that change while I am still around, I am not optimistic about that, as I have already seen a few periods in my life where it seemed like that change would begin or was beginning, but the system managed to kill all of those movements early on... I don't make the reality, I just report it, lol...

@TomMcGiverin Time will tell, it always does.

@Betty Similar to a song lyric from one of my fav bands, Dawes. "Things happen, that's all they ever do"...

You spelled "Democrat" Wrong

According to the Gun Violence Archive, the United States saw 44,868 gun deaths in Biden's first year as president.

The total number of murders, justifiable self-defence homicides, and accidental homicides involving firearms were 20,783 in 2021, compared to 15,727 in 2017 when Trump took office.

This means that in the past few years alone, gun violence has increased by 32 per cent.

I think thr 32 per cent gun violence has most increase because of the handling of the pandemic

@Castlepaloma What? How is that?

@Castlepaloma I'm not seeing the correlation between gun violence and the pandemic. They may have both shared the same course of time but they're unrelated. People didn't suddenly start shooting up schools, grocery stores, and birthday parties because of COVID, it happened due to the rise of MAGA and the insanity that came with it.

@Sgt_Spanky

The old saying is the adverage person is about 3 weeks away from bankruptcy or homeless. When most people have been shut down either by jobs, schools, stores , sports , 30% of small businesses go under and so on and so on. Led by the media, government, technology blockers and lying paid fact checkers. Pharmaceutical and billionaire of world record profits for more on than off for 3 years. How is possible to not take up crime, murder, divorces, woman beating and transgenders industry and other mass murderers by guns. And a world war 3 cold economic war with the BRICS kicking our pants in too many ways to list.

@Castlepaloma Sounds like a cop out to me.

@Jolanta

Not when the vaccines have more people being damaged, injured and deaths than the unvaccinated worldwide. The vaccines in the greatest blunder in our lifetime.

@Castlepaloma What? Where did you get that from?

The second ammendment does NOT give carte blanche to own all guns. It applies to a WELL REGULATED militia.
Therefore, the second ammendment is subject to regulation, a detail the NRA likes to overlook!

@OldMetalHead ... and in the process giving generous succour to hordes of lawyers.

@Petter I have no time for the Ignorant Madman from Mars, aka @Alienbeing

@Petter You are wrong. Our Supreme Court has ruled that the Second Amendment guarantees the right of citizens to own guns. No gun is specifically excluded from that ruling.

@OldMetalHead As I learned in Law School..... the Constitution says what the Supreme Court says it says.

@anglophone As you have proven, and continue to prove what you have no time for is facts. Get a life!

@Alienbeing Your Supreme Court is not exactly impartial in its rulings. It slavishly follows political party lines. The politicians slavishly follow the lines of whoever pays them, and the more handsome the payment, the more slavish the following.
.... see "Thomas"...

@Petter Not true, if you understood our Constitution you would not say what you did.

It's probably a combination of things: alienation, sense of entitlement, anger fueled by online disinformation, self-loathing, hatred,...

Like the bumper sticker says, " Friends don't let friends vote Republican"...
