[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s face face, for all the talk about common see we see gun reform, a universal federal background check and mandatory waiting period with no private sale exemption would be great but would not have stopped this and most other school shootings. If nothing comes back from NCIS the purchaser simply gets to walk out with the gun and unlimited ammo in a few minutes in most states.

Then there’s the related issue of ensuring that background checks can be completed by the FBI within three days if a sale is flagged and all relevant mental health and criminal information is accessible. [/quote]

Tons can be done, starting with outlawing assault rifles and high capacity clips, and also raising the minimum purchase age across the board. [/quote]

Im sorry, but these are matters of post-Heller and MacDonald jurisprudence under the Second Amendment. The Supreme Court will not outlaw assault rifles. The Supreme Court will not raise the minimum age of purchase to 21. The Fourth Citcuit already has invalidated a prohibition against handgun sales to anyone under 21. They will have a harder time with restrictions on high capacity magazines. Bans for untraceable ghost guns are already being challenged as was the banning of bump stocks after Las Vegas.

Unrestricted gun rights is something that will keep Clarence Thomas snd other Federalist Society fanatics on the bench for years to come. [/quote]

Relatedly, there are only 7 states + the district where assault weapons are banned. Are these state laws at risk? What can we do at the local and state level to mitigate the risk of mass shootings? I have given up on my country. Still have some hope for my state (Maryland). [/quote]
