What does it take to get a little gun control

[Anonymous]

Ban assault weapons. No one and I mean no one needs an AR15 outside the military. That would be a start and we were able to do it before.

Never OP until Republicans are voted out + political fundraising laws change.

One party’s congressional reps pose their families with guns for their holiday cards. I’ve lost hope on this.

Yep, no problem. Let’s get ‘er done.

(p.s., there are 25 million AR-15s in the U.S.)

That’s a false equivalency though. Driving has multiple prosocial purposes. Guns have one purpose: killing.

Mass shootings aren’t an accidental byproduct of some other activity, they are the activity.

I wouldn't call driving a prosocial activity though. Not on an individual or social level. The car has led to the destruction of the American landscape, the isolation of people from their communities and a crushing financial burden. The car kills people, cities and nations. Guns only kill people.

Let’s not conflate metaphorical killing of cities with literal killing of people. That’s irrelevant.

Guns are designed to murder, and marketed as such. Cars are not advertised based on how many pedestrians they can mow down.

Guns are no more "designed to murder" than cars are designed to kill other drivers and pedestrians. Both can be used for legal and valid purposes, or abused. The variable is the operator, and that's where the focus should be, not on the instrument they use improperly.

You're weak. We had it before and we can have it again, including getting rid of a lot of the ones already out there. Everything has a price. What does this country want to do with its wealth?

Totally, especially when we can just send Thoughts-n-Prayers whenever a mass shooting happens. Btw, anyone know when the next one is?

I’m sure we’ll have another one on the books by the end of the year. Some kids on their way home from school today don’t know they’re pending victims of the GOP.

Yes they love to blame woke culture but fail to acknowledge gun culture. Gun culture people are absolutely weird and bizarre.

Millions of people own guns without issue. The problem is certain persons have a propensity to commit gun violence. Rather than harassing law-abiding Americans by calling for gun "control," we need only lock up criminals and psychos.

So comprehensive psych assessments before every gun purchase and for existing gun owners? Agreed, that's a good first step.

You are never rounding up guns. There's around 400 million of them in the U.S.

You'll simply have violence trying to confiscate them.

That is bull crap. Everything has a price. It's been down in other places.
