This is gonna happen.
To really outlaw guns if that is your goal its going to take a constitutional amendment. Then its a conservative thing to do.
Should we though? I dunno. I think we have a cultural problem and a problem of people hiding from the responsibility the right they love signs them up for, not necessarily a gun problem.
We don't have a cultural problem...we have an isolated problem in democrat controlled inner city neighborhoods.....In Chicago it is tiny, multi block areas on the South and West Sides..........
We have 600 million guns in private hands and over 17 million people carry guns legally for self defense.....
Out of all those armed people we had 11,004 gun murders.....the victims of those gun murders were 70-80% other criminals, not law abiding citizens and the killings took place in those tiny areas in democrat controlled cities....
So no, we do not have a cultural problem...we have a criminal problem.
What is fueling the criminal problem.....judges and prosecuters who keep letting violent gun criminals off by getting rid of gun charges in plea deals, and judges sentencing gun criminals to short prison sentences....that is the actual problem, not law abiding Americans....
Americans use their guns 2.4 million times a year to stop crime, not to cause crime.....and as more Americans own and carry guns since the 1990s...our gun murder rate went down 49%, our gun crime rate went down 75%, and our violent crime rate went down 72%, so no, we do not have a gun problem, we have a criminals getting light sentences problem...
Here ....this is just Chicago...but it is the same dynamic in St. Louis and other places where you have gun crime problems....like Baltimore...D.C........
Police chiefs plot new strategies against gun violence and mass shootings
Even as it is beset by gun violence, Chicago likes to claim it has some of the strictest gun laws in the country. “I laugh because that’s not true,” Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson said Thursday.
“For the first six months [after the law making gun possession a felony passed], we could not find a gun out on the street. But it actually takes three times for them to be treated like a felon” by Chicago’s courts, where judges and prosecutors were reducing gun charges to misdemeanors, and the word quickly spread. Soon, it was back to violent business as usual.
