[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do we remove 400,000,000 guns from America?[/quote]

the same way we eliminate all cars and so ensure no drunk driving vehicular homicides.  Which is to say, not happening.  Focus on the drivers/shooters, not on the mechanical devices they use.  [/quote]

That is a minority position.  The majority of citizens want increased regulations around guns [/quote]

Majority opinions are irrelevant to rights guaranteed under the Constitution, which exist precisely to avoid tyranny by a majority.  [/quote]

The title of this thread includes the phrase "a little gun control," but most posts seem to be asking for "a lot of gun control".  Because we have the Second Amendment, dramatic gun control efforts will be no more successful than dramatic changes to any other Constitutional right.  Democrats need to work with Republicans on incremental changes where they will do the most good, and more importantly, need to get over the fact that any such effort might be deemed a "win" for Trump.  If gun control is that important, then why wait until 2026 or 2028?  Even if you want to use it as a campaign issue, you won't be any more successful than you are today, because the Supreme Court will likely strike down any dramatic gun control effort you try to impose at that time.[/quote]
