We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!
Counterpoint: We've tried a lot and there's no magic fix to this issue.
The objective truth is that there are far more gun laws in the United States today than there was 60 years ago. To give a single example; in 1968 you could literally mail order a firearm directly to your doorstep. No background check, no registry, no nothing. In fact that's how Lee Harvey Oswald got the rifle he used to shoot President Kennedy.
Yet despite the vast increase in firearms laws both the Homicide and Suicide by firearm rates in 2023 are very close to 1968.
You can argue that we haven't done enough but to say that we've tried nothing is completely ridiculous.
send the government door to door taking the guns away
Sweety do you really think they'll be taking guns from other Nazis?
Facism is knocking, and its armed and dangerous.
Id love to finish my transition, and attempt live out the rest of my life happy, but that might have to come to a screeching halt if I see some of these ICE fuckers in my neck of the woods.
The streets are running red, and its the wrong blood flowing.
