then keep coming up with the only solution that you can't sell and expecting a different result. Its mind boggling to me that you can't figure out the limits you have to work within to solve this.
Tell me the limits.
You can't start off wanting to limit the purchase of guns any more than it is right now.
How would they "start off" then?
by coming up with things that will work that don't involve limiting the purchase of guns
Its sort of like if I told you that you had to come up with a way to keep your yard from flooding without your solution being to stop it from raining.
Rain is a natural event. Weather is uncontrollable. Nice try.
People's ability to visit violence upon each other is a well. They will use whatever means they have or get their hands on to do it. Guns, cars, trucks, knives, fists, feet, sticks, rocks, poison, the list goes on. Banning guns and restricting sales will not change anything. Privacy laws already make it difficult for background checks to catch those with severe mental illness, though yours does stand out pretty well Salty. There is already a huge stigma for those struggling against mental illness and automatically banning them from having certain rights and privileges because they needed help in the past is straight up wrong.
Say you get your gun ban, we round up every scary black rifle, semiautomatic pistol, even blackpowder rifles. What's next? Oh fuckers start getting stabby. Hello England ...
It is like abortion. The genie is out of the bottle. You're not going to be able to stuff it back in. The best we can do is to have responsible use and ownership, which if there wasn't there's be a lot more dead bodies.
Red flag laws are out there but many spiteful people would use those to hurt, slander, or harass others, there needs to be safeguards in place as well as punishments for those that use them maliciously before I would back those.
If life were fair every guy's dick would be the same size.
