Then how are you getting rid of the guns? If you can’t find an answer to that you aren’t even thinking about the problem, People taking selfies and posting on Facebook is not the person murdering 9 year olds. Who are you really upset with in this situation? If you can’t see that then there’s no wonder why they won’t ever be convinced.

I don’t even disagree with you. Societies with more tightly controlled gun ownership make it harder to commit murder and suicide. But the elemental fact remains that those in favor of stricter gun control measures are not trusted by those they need to convince. And it’s pretty basic stuff as to why this is. China is running 21st century concentration camps and people just go along with it, especially the rich and powerful in our own country. The Russian government imprisons and kills its political enemies. At home, the political party most likely to move on the issue has a base that is extremely mistrustful, with plenty of good reasons, of the enforcement arm of the government needed to produce such a policy.

These people were not killed by a gun. They were killed by a mass murderer with a gun. People that die of fentanyl overdoses almost always die from trying to get high off drugs, that are already illegal, and the chemistry wasn’t in their favor. They risked their own lives but weren’t trying to hurt anyone. With the exceptions of people intent on murder, like the Waukesha murderer, most people that die in automobile accidents die because of physics. Something goes wrong and soft tissue meets mass in the form of metal, concrete, hard earth, and an abrupt change in speed that the tissue is no match for. People woke up and decided they needed to get somewhere fast and didn’t make it. They didn’t decide to kill anybody. When someone decides today is a good today to go massacre a bunch of people, it’s not like a drug overdose or a car accident. It’s quite a commitment. Guns make it easier to do but it seems pretty unlikely they’d just give up on what they set out to do because it was just a little too inconvenient. I wish it were the case.

Sure, it’s on ice. But Brooks Robinson did that like 6 times in the 1970 World Series.
