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?
I personally didn’t propose any of those policies. I genuinely don’t know what would work best. I just think you are being really transparent in treating the guns themselves as having nothing to do with the issue of gun violence.
I think everything you were saying would be great to accomplish. It’s just really disingenuous to propose them knowing there is a slim chance any of them will happen while completely ignoring the actual guns, just because you want to keep your guns.
Those are all fantastic suggestions. In my opinion we absolutely should be taking much more drastic measures to decrease school shootings in the meantime, as nearly everything you suggest would still take at least ~15-20 years to see results. Any dead kid is too many and there are way too many school shootings.

So basically… Fix every other nearly impossible to fix problem first before even deciding to do anything about the actual guns, if anything at all?
And to be clear, by impossible to fix, I mean politically, not that these problems are actually unsolvable.

You mean like slavery?

If everyone agreed, why did we fight a civil war over it?

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.

Lol fantastic response. And its crickets from everyone else being critical
No, not crickets. Those things sound great, let’s do them. We should do everything we can, and that also includes stricter gun laws.
Not term limits though. It may sound like a good idea, but I implore you to research issues with term limits.

Term limits will seal the deal to the end of our Democracy.
Either you’re arguing in bad faith, and know this, or you’re refusing to inform yourself of the downsides.

Buddy, I’m not going to do all the work for you. This is a well researched subject with a ton of information, it’s not some brand new idea.
I was mainly referring to elected positions, I’m not necessarily against term limits for Supreme Court Justices.
Edit: See my reply to the knob below for a few sources.

Oh my fucking god, do like 3 seconds of googling before being so goddamn confident you’re correct. Jesus Christ, I’m not your fucking nanny:
look at that, pretty much the first result and it’s NPR - https://www.npr.org/2023/10/29/1207593168/congressional-term-limits-explainer
More because apparently you can’t do anything yourself. But don’t expect me to pull out the relevant quotes or anything, you can do that:

Good enough, or…?
And you can end with bringing your gun regulations up to speed to every other developed nation.
