Agreed. That’s the ONLY true solution. But the thing is that will never happen. So we’re stuck debating measures that will never actually achieve the change many want.

Few would advocate a total ban on gun sales, just assault rifles. There was a national ban during the Clinton years and could be again.

“But in 2003, Congress passed a law prohibiting ATF from releasing information on which dealers sell guns linked to crimes”

How does this little tidbit never come up when there’s a discussion of gun control? The Candidates need to drive this shit home every time a reporter asks them a question about anything pertaining to guns.

Tax the ammunition and require gun owners carry insurance policies on their firearms. Some dude wants to own eighty guns? Cool. Insure each and every one of them or lose ‘em.

Agree on the ammo. Make it not only so godawful expensive that it’s prohibitive to buy, but track sale of every bullet. Yes there are likely people who have a million rounds stockpiled, but once they use it, then what? If you can get cheap ammo, a gun can be used over and over and over.

Dickey amendment, iirc. And the former rep. Dickey disavows his past action.

And require all guns in "gun collections" be rendered unusable to be insured.

I heard an ATF agent speak. They know the problem gun stores. They just can legally do anything about them. Chicago's frequent murders would dry up in a month if a couple of stores across the state line were closed.

Since I am an old fuck, I remember when Republicans and the NRA were for gun control and you will never guess whyhttps://www.history.com/new...

Pffft... As if they'll believe the obviously Deep State Lamestream Media Fake News that he died.

They'll know that he just moved to his skull-shaped private island to more closely monitor his worldwide conspiracy that, despite its comprehensive nature, will be overcome by a bunch of middle aged Red Dawn cosplayers.
