Can’t imagine what could possibly go wrong with this idea.

    Let more children die. That’s legal and practical.

    Otherwise you’d have to have legislators do their jobs and make laws.

      Congress can’t make a law that overturns a Constitutional amendment. Doesn’t matter if I like it. Doesn’t matter if you like it. The 2A exists and the courts have upheld it to mean the right to personal gun ownership. You can pick away at it, with minimal success, but what are you actually doing?

      Let more children die.

      The “high score” for school shootings was Virginia Tech. Dude got the vast majority of his kills with a .22 pistol. Were you aiming to ban those? Or were you aiming for AR-15s, which account for <2% of all gun deaths? If you’re not talking about banning pistols, you’ve kinda failed right out the gate. Funny how no one talks that talk. What exactly is your policy and how do you aim to enforce it? I’m listening, because I also want this to end.

      If you want to trash the 2A, I’m listening, but first you have to tell me you understand what it takes to change the Constitution and how you aim to accomplish that. Easy, right? Go.

      So. Again. Practical and legal? Spell it out.

        Laws are made up, and the people you elect can change them. Don’t tell me that if 100% of the people in the US agreed on something, you couldn’t make it happen. The whole creation of your country was illegal by royal laws and that never seemed to stop anyone.

        The people you elect are also responsible for finding experts, hiring them, listening to them, and fixing the problem.

        So again, my solution is, let more children die. You have to look upwards and to your side for any better solution. Not my job, in my country we had like 2 school shootings in total. It’s barely yours. Wouldn’t be if it was getting done. When you decide it’s yours, get more people on board and demand accountability.
