You'll simply have violence trying to confiscate them.

So comprehensive psych assessments before voting. Agreed, that's a good first step.

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

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.

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

Yep, no problem. Let’s get ‘er done.

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