(12,194 posts)I've already given you suggestions. Somhow i don't think you'll listen to them any more this time, than you did the first time:
Forget trying to keep guns away from misusers.
Try keeping misusers away from guns instead.
Leave those of us who aren't misusers alone.
Focusing on the gun, focuses on controlling 300+ million guns, with tens of millions that oppose such.
Focusing on the misuser, focuses instead on a relatively tiny handful of misusers, and would be opposed by pretty much nobody...except those that insist on focusing on the gun.
Theres your suggestions, and they'd go a long way toward lowering the non-suicide portion of gun violence, because rank and file gun owners could get behind them instead of fighting you at every turn and winning.
