Am I right in thinking

[brettdale]

That no matter how many school shootings you have, it wont change anything?

[dchill]

1. So far.

[BlueTsunami2018]

2. Unfortunately, you are.

Literally nothing will come of this. And the next one will happen maybe an hour from now, maybe within a week but it will happen and nothing will be done about it.

3. Politicians and loose amalgamations on Facebook are not the leading answer. Its our relationship wi

the entire neighborhood. Know your neighbors. Not just for sidewalk maintenance.

9. And what do I do if I know a neighbor is a crazy gun fuck? Take his guns?

Okay, that sounds about right to me.

I'm glad I live in a place where I'd get some support from the police.

On the other hand I'm never quick to call the police for anything because they tend to be a little reckless with their own guns. I've seen them shoot people I wouldn't have shot. Not criminal, just reckless.

My great grandmas were hard ass property owning women of the Wild West. They had zero tolerance for fools with guns. One or two of them were the sort who could call upon the sheriff-coroner to clean up the mess and fill out the proper paperwork when bad men crossed them.

I don't want to live in that world either.

12. Yes. Likely, confiscation and destruction of a nut's guns is an option that i would personally con.

consider

I know an ardent hunter and likely gun supporter.

I believe if there were a nut in my neighborhood of a previous life that this hunter would support confiscation after a neighborhood chat.

I personally don’t know any gun nuts, tho they may have changed since I left.

A distant relative by marriage was killed by her husband in a murder suicide in Green Bay about 18 years ago.

4. We probably need 58-60 in the Senate

Its the way it is.

Gun control has become an identity issue. Not a public health or criminal law issue.

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

6. And a different SCOTUS

As it stands right now, even if we had the votes for sweeping gun control(and I doubt we would even get 50 votes in the Senate for anything), it would still have to get past 6 conservative votes on SCOTUS.

[gopiscrap]

5. not until those who are in power

are directly affected

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

7. Gop has been affected

When that guy shot up their softball practice. Didn't change any of their minds then and they were the ones targeted.

[edhopper]

8. you are right

No matter how big a majority are in favor of stronger gun laws, not enough will vote for the people who will pass them.
And any moderate who suggests we pass some will lose in a swing district when the gun loonies are riled up.

[Caliman73]

10. We have to replace a large quantity of politicians.

We will likely get little action at the Federal level unless we have solid (I mean filibuster proof) majority in the Senate. At the state level, we have to get rid of a bunch of Governors and state legislators to.

It is going to be a heavy lift.

Alternately and still a heavy lift, we need policies to address the factors that contribute to violence in general, which would likely cut into the gun violence situation.

Social programs for jobs, mental health and social services, housing, and addressing the messaging that violence is a viable solution to problems.

Like I said, a heavy lift. Possible but very very difficult.

11. I'm afraid you're right! Nt
