Which is what? Details please. Your solution must be legal and practical. Go.
EDIT: As I figured. Angry children will no real policy ideas, no real laws to be enacted, totally ignorant of how Constitutional amendments work.
I want REAL fucking ideas, real HELP!
Lemmy: "no you"
If you're not adult enough to comment, refrain.
Let more children die. That's legal and practical.
Otherwise you'd have to have legislators do their jobs and make laws.
Congress can't make a law that overturns a Constitutional amendment. Doesn't matter if I like it. Doesn't matter if you like it. The 2A exists and the courts have upheld it to mean the right to personal gun ownership. You can pick away at it, with minimal success, but what are you actually doing?
The "high score" for school shootings was Virginia Tech. Dude got the vast majority of his kills with a .22 pistol. Were you aiming to ban those? Or were you aiming for AR-15s, which account for <2% of all gun deaths? If you're not talking about banning pistols, you've kinda failed right out the gate. Funny how no one talks that talk. What exactly is your policy and how do you aim to enforce it? I'm listening, because I also want this to end.
If you want to trash the 2A, I'm listening, but first you have to tell me you understand what it takes to change the Constitution and how you aim to accomplish that. Easy, right? Go.
So. Again. Practical and legal? Spell it out.
I mean do an amendment. You treat it like it is written in stone but do you know what the amendments are! They are changes.
