That means you support a robust system of social safety nets to treat the root causes of violence: poverty, homelessness, unemployment, and mental health, right?
That’s not coded language for, “We’re going to pass a feel-good ban that’s logistically unenforceable and only applies to citizens, not our over-militarized police force, further entrenching the police state, and declare the problem solved, regardless of whether it actually stops the violence,” right?
“There is no way to prevent this” says only country in the planet where it happens - as the famous onion article says.
The guns are part of the problem. The rest is a problem too, and I support broad social policies as a matter of principle, but the guns need to be part of this.
So true, no other country has radically reduced the rates of gun ownership & gun crimes & gun injuries via those stinky unenforceable ‘laws’ or whatever.
I also support the other stuff you suggested (unlike maga) but I won’t live in your fantasy world.
Sure, but how do you propose the portion of society who’s entire personality is guns be brought to a reasonable place? So many people who proclaim they’re all about 2A are the ones actively supporting the current state of affairs because ‘muh freedoms’ overrides all else regardless of any detriments to others.
