well I get that...but we are discussing how we do things in the US, so doesn't really matter what they do in Siam
This may be the stupidest thing I've read on this board.
Other countries are case studies on what works and what doesn't. American exceptionalism doesn't apply. We're doing it wrong here.
I mean, makes a great bumper sticker for your prius, but can we work in reality of what actually exists here in the US
personally I think the take that 'they don't do it in any other county' is kind of a stupid take when you think of how the majority of americans think and vote
I mean, that take really got Universal Heath Care passed, whew
Lets be clear, I fucking hate guns and IMO think they pretty much should be outlawed in the US...but I know that's about as likely as me getting laid by a purple unicorn, so I work in reality
this is the MOST minor thing when it comes to gun safety in the US (the reason someone puts on a form, jez talk about something that does nothing)
Things like you need labiality insurance for every gun you own
Red flag laws
Restriction on age (wouldn't have helped in Highland sadly)
Gun show/private sales...pretty much illegal
While I agree a hand gun is a high powered killing machine, I think we need to start at the AR-class of weapons, they are overwhelmingly used in mass shootings
can't have bazookas or tanks, why should you have this class of weapon, period
will that solve all the problems, no
but almost everyone of these shootings were done with weapons purchased legally...and to me that is where the change has to happen
