    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.
