I want to make it clear that I am in no way, downplaying the alarming amount of shootings that occur in the US. Just that it was engrossing to see so many accounts of mass shootings in other countries, spanning decades.
Write your representatives and voice your opinions and concerns.
Literally this entire comment is you forgetting buybacks are a thing that worked incredibly in other countries that did them.
Or grandfather policies for guns that can be proved to have been bought before regulations went into place.
Or just subsidizing adequate separated storage for firearms and ammunition.
Or even something as simple as titling and insuring weapons to close the gunshow loophole.
No they did not, the buy back they did in Australia, had a 60% rate. They also had a very small group of owners, 1million firearms in civ hands was the estimate…if 40% don’t turn their firearms in it’s still over 100million in civ hands. Buy backs do not work. Period.
Care to clarify this one? No one is shooting people with 1899 rifles.
Again how do you enforce this? And what makes you think criminals will follow these rules?
You mean registration…good luck with that. And there is no gun show loophole. That’s the dumbest shit ever. Private sales are still private sales. If an FFL sells at a gun show, you will have to pass a BG check.
Alright, let’s dig into this hot mess,
> literally provides example of buybacks working and removing a majority and change of all civlian owned firearms
> “BuYbAcKs Do NoT wOrK. pErIoD.”
If you have a gun a new law would make illegal it’s immune to the new law so long as you can prove it was bought before the law, and you have to sell it directly to the buyback program only.
Same way as in Japan, random once a year visit from the local sherrifs/deputies to spot check everything is stored and accounted for in proper order. No different than kit inspection in the millitary.
Ah so you just don’t know anything about what you’re talking about and are upsetti spaghetti that your “literally even less effective than waving a literal security blanket in an attacker’s face” security blanket firearm is being scrutinized. I’m picturing you sweating about how we must be aiming to take your coal roller next!
Yes please show us how your about to cram your foot into your mouth.
Well that’s a strong start…you didn’t provide shit showing buy backs work… I’ll give you a second chance.
Ah the classic mocking camel casing, because you actually lack a coherent thought to type out. Really strong opening so far.
We’ll use an anti gun source for this one:

What in the fuck does this even mean, can you use a comma or…Jesus I don’t even know if a fucking comma is gonna help
Lol so who’s paying these people to go to every gun owners home? 1/3rd of Americans own a firearm(this is a debatable number because not everyone reports having them and you can get them without ever buying one from a store)…so who do you plan on hiring to go around and check on 90+ million firearm owners?
Lol you might want to go read my other comments… you’re arguing with someone on the left and not some idiot repub/conservative trumpist. I literally want federal law for abortion rights, single payer, legalizing all drugs, safety nets, UBI, reforming the police, ending qualified immunity, ending for profit prisons, paying teachers more, pro union, anti-right to work law, raising the minimum wage, pro LGBTQ+… basically everything the majority of the left agrees with… except I’m a die hard 2a supporter…armed minorities are harder to oppress.
