What do we need to do to stop mass shootings?

The 3-D printer question is for another day. I don’t care what happens to panicked concealed carry lunatics. We can’t live like this anymore. We’re talking about exhibiting parts of 9 year olds destroyed by gunfire in open caskets to show what an evil 28 year old wreaked because she could.

If Biden did it, the relative temporary privileging of LEO’s and military personnel as those carrying out an EO would make it theoretically feasible to sweep up the weapons over time.

If we can’t do that, we’ll never solve this. Never. Not just in my lifetime, but in that of my DC, younger than the child victims of the Nashville shootings. We haven’t done anything meaningful even with a billionaire like Bloomberg financing anti-gun work. I mean, what is the harm in trying? If mah guns or else folk want to have their own individual Wacos and face the working end of the barrel instead of putting their self-esteem entirely into the ownership of those weapons, well, bully for them.

This is fantasy not problem solving. We need real problem solving. You may as well posted that we build a Time Machine. I like a PP’s suggestion of insurance. We need to approach this in the same manner that GOP did with abortion. Unfortunately, the good guys suck at strategy.

My god, just get bent. Insurance won’t happen and it won’t solve anything because of the cache which moves like the waves of a sea within our country. All of this high-mindedness just means dead kids and you know it.

Stop deadnaming the shooter, bigot.

When it becomes too expensive either monetarily or through jail time to own guns. And yes people will start limiting them and complying with laws

What’s the likelihood that some of the more uh crazy circuits will find that insurance requirements are somehow too onerous for the average gun owner? I fully expect that would be the decision, upheld by the next and final level. It would be great but that’s my sense of things right now.

Mass school shootings were virtually nonexistent before the mid-80s, and a rare occurrence before Columbine. There were a lot of guns around then, but no mass shootings. A sensible person would look deeper into why this was the case instead of throwing out irrational solutions like confiscating 400 million guns in this country through police and FBI raids, which would obviously lead to mass unrest of a level that this country has never seen.

Background checks on all purchases.

Tougher punishment on crime. We can’t keep catching and releasing.

Pack the prisons with the criminals and keep them there.

Normalize being normal. Quit acting like transgender, gay marriage, divorce, crime, etc, is behavior that should be applauded. Two parent homes with disciplined kids should be applauded

You are not only an idiot, you are dangerous.

When morality is called dangerous, and those pushing for morality are called idiots, you end up with school shootings.

School shootings are overwhelmingly commited by straight white Christian men from 2 parent homes and church attendance by family of origin. I don't think your idea of immortality has any connection to school shootings? How many gay people have shot children in a school?
Should I point out priests and ministers and their involvement with sexual crimes?

Nope, most are fatherless.

I posted upthread but I think you’re probably being obtuse deliberately. As far as the average civilian was concerned, assault weapons weren’t available till the 80s. Why? Because the gun manufacturers saw dwindling sales and needed to get their consumers excited. Voila. Mashed elementary students.

Well said and completely logical.

The guns are not “causing” this. Guns are inanimate objects. The root causes are deeper and potentially more difficult to confront.

Easily, however, we can harden our schools today, without controversy.

We hardened air-travel after 9/11. It can be done.

Inconvenient? Sure, but it can be done. IT MUST BE DONE FOR THE SAKE OF OUR KIDS.

Good suggestions in these posts.

Why can’t Biden extend the authority of the TSA to cover schools?

+1 and assault weapons ban ended in 2004.
