THIS IS AMERICA 🇺🇸 A mom runs to find her child after a school shooting because Republicans ran to protect the NRA.

If that felonious motherfucker’s going to violate the Constitution almost daily, it’d be nice if he ignored Heller and Bruen and meaningfully clamped down on guns while he’s at it. Bolt action rifles, breech-loaded shotguns, and six-shooters. That’s all anyone can have. One each, max.

We have been living with this crisis for over 25 years, since Columbine. We need serious national gun-safety legislation. 2nd Amendment says that our right to bear arms 'shall not be infringed,' not 'shall not be regulated.' youtu.be/5BNj-BneTNI

Here's my pie-in-the-sky proposal: A 500% tax on all assault-style weapons and handguns, with a 100% tax on everything else, combined with a yearly license of $500 for every firearm in a person's possession. Combine this with a generous buy-back program. Chance of enactment: zero.

The gun control debate was lost after Sandy Hook and nothing was done. Any serious attempt at gun control must include these two things: first, the elimination of the Second Amendment otherwise no meaningful changes will happen. Second, changing the makeup of SCOTUS.
