    Sure, the shootings won’t stop the day legislation changes. But it prevents more guns from entering the US, making it more difficult to get one, even illegally.

    I get that some people in the states need guns. Some communities have a real danger from bears etc. But those people can get a license to own a gun, the way it works in most countries.

      Yes hopefully it would. It’s a slow drawn out process though, and america isn’t an island. It’s not a fix

          Yep, given the reality of how many firearms there are already, and the resources it would take to remove them… I think we should focus on other things.

            Who says the government needs to remove them? There could be a grace period of a year or maybe several years, during which people already owning a gun can apply for a license and receive the necessary training. Those who don’t want to get the license can come in to prove they made the firearm unusable. Anyone else owing a gun can be made liable after that grace period. This would minimize necessary resources.

            Also, a proper government should be able to focus on several things. And I do think daily school shootings is something worth focusing on.
