Look man, I just want less gun violence in this country. And my solution is to ban guns. If you have a better idea I'm all ears.
Fix society..and get to the root cause of why people are violent towards each other
These aren't actual solutions. Taking aways all guns is a concrete step. We need concrete steps from the gun loving crowd.
Lol good luck with that, you anti-gun crowds really want to start a civil war that you wouldn't survive in.
So yea, you have no ideas then? Cool. What a turd.

I literally posted how to solve the majority of our violence in this comment chain your in. I've also posted these things before...so yea I've got plenty of ideas and tons of research on the topics.
Yea, had to really zoom out to see your screed. And I also don't really agree with you that this would solve these mass shootings. Would it lower day to day gun violence? Maybe. Do I think we should implement a lot of those? Yes. Either way these events don't stop until you melt down every weapon in this country.
Mass shootings weren't really a thing until about 30 years ago. Our society has had decades to break down and become what it is now. You will never get rid of all the weapons, and if you tried you would need to kill a lot of people.
Or just outlaw the sale of them, shut down manufacturers and watch them fade away. And anyone caught making them give 20 years.
It's pretty easy to get guns in my country yet there's still not much gun violence. Similarly a lot of the states with the most lax gun laws in the US have the least gun violence.
