That's hilarious though. I grew up with guns, was in the Army, did the whole combat thing, and now I don't think we get any peace from gun violence until we return to lower power ammunition and bolt action/revolver/lever action weapons as the cap on civilian firepower. (Basically take the spring out from behind the bolt. So you have to manually chamber the next round.)

And if anyone wants to wield something heavier they need to show up for drill and annual training. But they don't get to take those weapons home.

That way we have our well regulated militia, and legitimate hunting/self defense weapons without also arming every murder-suicide mental health case with enough firepower to make an entire police department stare at their shoes and pretend they don't have a duty to kick that door.

But what happens when I need to fight the army with my assault rifle in conventional warfare? What am I gonna do, wage guerilla warfare and mind my ammo like some fucking communist?

Guess you'd have to manually rack that next shot while they aim their tanks and missiles at you. Good luck ig.
