I think you may be right. Since most mass shootings are with illegal guns, lets ban them! I would donate to that cause
Most of the mass shootings I'm recalling were done with legal guns. San Bernardino, Newtown, Orlando...
If you're talking about inner city shootings, it is difficult to do a drive-by knifing, as well.
Most mass shootings are in the ghetto.. and gangs are not using legal guns lol.
Newtown and San Bern were with illegal guns
Those guns were purchased legally. I have suggested ways to get illegal guns off the streets, but no one is buying that, either. Everybody wants their killing machine.
What were your suggestions? I dont see any way to get illegal guns off the street. You wouldn't believe the arsenals of some people I know. The best bet is to require background checks for ammo or magazines IMO.
Requiring background checks for
all gun transfers, and holding the last legal owner equally responsible for any crime committed with the weapon, if it was not transferred legally. Any gun that was stolen would have to be reported to the police to absolve the owner from responsibility.
It wouldn't stop all guns from floating into illegal limbo, but a lot of people would think twice about buying a gun and handing it over to Joe Criminal.
I'd love it if the world would just stop making bullets, but background checks on ammo--wouldn't that be the same as background checks on guns, as far as finding ways around it?
