    Literally will try anything and everything but gun control.

      You got to understand: the gun lobby is strong, especially at the local level. The amount of money to elect someone locally is pennies compared to nationally.

      Not only that but often these “solutions” like metal detectors have lobbies of their own.

      Gun control doesn’t make the line go up.

      The only way we’ll get gun control is if Luigi’s start making a more common occurrence.

        I’m not sure it’s logistically feasible even if they really wanted to at this point.

        This video is less than 10 mins, and uses pretty rounded off numbers, but it’s very illustrative of the magnitude of guns in america. Even going beyond any other problems that enforcement would have like non compliant sheriffs and organized resistance.

      On the bright side, if an executive order can undo an amendment, the next time a democratic president gets in this should be fun

      You know, assuming we have elections

        Dems never have the balls to wield their power effectively. They could have a supermajority in both houses and still wouldn’t even be able to create an honorary holiday like notional french fry day or some other meaningless gesture.

      Plus it has Ai! Anything that has AI must be good. For lunch I’m getting a ham sandwich with extra AI.
