I could keep going. We do none of what safe nations do for gun registration and safety. If you do nothing expect nothing good to come from it. Treating guns like toys is one of my personal issues. Weapons should never be treated as toys in our society. They are self defense killing machines.

So Mike- explain this. While the 1994 federal assault weapons ban was in effect,the risk of a person dying in a mass shooting dropped by 70% compared to the periods before and after the ban. Did the ban just magically coincide with a period of glorious well balanced mental health? Or is it the GUNS!

1/2 But prevented new ones to be bought, thus stopping younger, more impulsive wannabe gun owners from obtaining them. And there were local buy back programs that did get back guns. Also ban also included a ban on large-capacity magazines (LCMs). LCMs increase the lethality of mass shootings

The distinctions between "preban" and "ban" weapons were entirely cosmetic-- functionally the rifles were the same. As with the arms themselves, large-cap magazines were 'grandfathered," and circulated widely.

Trying to defend the indefensible. The Reps are afraid of mental health services because they think it will make people "woke" or turn them into homosexuals or transgender, so they reduce/deny funding for services. Hypocritical to identify a problem and deny resources to fix it.

It's not either-or, it's both-and. It's a mental health problem AND a problem with how easily people struggling with their mental health can get guns. "At the end of the day, the problem is not guns. Okay, Jen Psaki? The problem is doing something about it would affect my income."
