    So you’re plan is to try and tackle something that’s written into the constitution… that’s your goal? Say it’s nearly impossible to do everything else on that list which isn’t written into our constitution…but guns… they’re easier to fix…fucking hell you all are really naive.

      You mean like slavery?

        Are you equating slavery to owning firearms? You white privileged ivory tower types are hilarious.

          Nope. I’m equating slavery to tackling something in the constitution and changing it. You know, the thing you just implied was not something that could be done. I’m sure you know that and are obfuscating.

      I didn’t specify a plan one way or another. I just think it’s crazy that the talking points you presented seem pretty clearly designed to just kick this issue down the road, cause at least that way you still get to have your guns.

      And believe me, solving all those things you mentioned would be great. But why not also try and do something about the major gun issues at the same time too?

        Those “talking points” would solve our firearm violence. We don’t have a gun problem, we have a societal one. Random mass shootings are a new phenomenon…gang violence and drug violence are not. Solving these things with the list I posted, would curb our violence epidemic 100xs more than just another emotional gun law from people who don’t understand guns.

          We do have a societal problem. We also very much have a gun problem.

          And proposing all these other things you know won’t get accomplished is a way to shift all the responsibility away from the gun issue itself.

          And you aren’t being emotional about even the thought of some more gun control or anything to even tackle that issue head on? Come on.
