22. If "nothing can be done!", then ...

... America is done.

Pass laws, demand gun safes, insurance, use zoning, pass anti-gun laws over and over and ignore the Supreme Court. Force the issue upon America. Define arms by law to be those known in 1789. Highlight the preamble of the Constitution. The Constitution is invalid if it fails the words of the preamble.

Force Americans to choose between centuries of fatal tradition or an actual functioning society that treats the idea of kids bleeding out in schools as a sign of mental, moral, social dis-eases. Keep the courts busy with new laws, appeals, public discussion, pressure on judges and everyone else to justify the status quo as good, acceptable, necessary, unchangeable.
Make it clear who is for humanity and who is bestial and favors child sacrifices.

There are those on the right pushing for a constitutional convention. They do not believe that nothing can be done about the Constitution.

Demand justice not 'just us' for for the overarmed few. There is NO well regulated militia if the USA does not have call-up contact information about bearers of arms or the arms and ammunition available.

Stop coddling the gun-lovers and killers.
