      Frustrating the reload slows down active shooters. Solidifying the NICS means criminals can’t just go to the next state over. And Universal background checks takes away the secondhand market from criminals as well.

      A program to groom judges on this just like the conservatives did with Roe V Wade will do the most in the long term because we’ll be able to have laws based on the actual amendment, not just a few words of it.

        Yes…because no active shooters have ever made plans…and no active shooters have ever not been flagged correctly when they were prohibited already…and no one buys drugs on the black market cause that’s illegal…and no one makes straw purchases which are already illegal.

        RvW needs to be signed into a law, not used as a bargaining chip for votes for Democrats. They need to use their political capital to make it a federal law.

          This isn’t a good faith argument. The logical extent is that we can’t stop every criminal so we should have no laws at all.

            We already have laws for these things you listed… literally murder is illegal…so is buying or owning a firearm and being a prohibited person…you gonna make it double illegal? I’m not the one arguing in bad faith. You are

              Right, first you argue we can’t catch them all so we shouldn’t have laws, and now your arguing that we just have to sit back and let them kill people.

              Go home.
