to the OP
What is the democrat solution? gun control? how is that working in Chicago, Baltimore, and DC? Punishing law abiding citizens for the actions of criminals is always the first democrat solution to any problem.
In truth, just like the third reich, they are using cultural problems as an excuse for a nazi like take over of the country.
How does gun control work in Australia or Britain? Surely you know guns flow in to the cities that you mentioned from less restrictive areas around them. Or are you playing the idiot card?
guns will always be available to criminals who are willing to pay for them, there have been mass shootings in Norway, New Zealand, Australia where there are very strict gun laws. In the UK, mass killers have used trucks and cars and bombs and machetes and knives.
the problem is not the implements of murder, the problem is a sick society that does not respect human life or free debate of different opinions. We have forgotten how to find the middle ground and compromise for the common good. We have a culture problem, not a gun problem.
