The OP relates to the need for groundswell support for gun controls from the American people. We cannot rely on Congress to do the job. They have shown they are not capable or willing
It will take major political pressure from the American people to get change
It happened with smoking and drunk driving. It can happen with guns
And as I said, in both cases, you are not dealing with consitutionally protected rights, and in both cases there is no prior restraint in the sale or use of both items. You actually have to commit the crime for you to be punished, and with the exception of age or prior conviction, there is no restriction on the use of either.
Nobody is punishing you and nobody is prohibiting you from legally obtaining guns
Your Second Amendment Rights are still intact
That does not mean we can not pass laws that inhibit the ability of criminals and the insane from obtaining firearms
Nutters are having a hard time figuring out the difference between gun control and gun bans.
