Your preposal is a non-starter.
YOUR guns may not hurt anyone (may), but the laws that allow you to possess your guns means that there are limitless guns in the U.S. many of which will hurt and kill many people, so your privilege or right to have your “safe” guns means that many will die from others. Seems like a trade off you and many others are willing to make.

At this point is not about “if” we will have another school shooting, it’s about “when” and how many kids will die in the next one, and the ones after that. If there isn’t a national ban for all firearms, there is absolutely no hope that these mass shootings will stop. Things like arming teachers etc. are short term and short sighted bandages (and not good bandages) for this problem.

My proposal is the only one that will make any kind of long term difference, whether you like it or not.

Bad news for some fellow posters:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...-idUSKCN1G4200

In a blow to gun rights activists, the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday turned away a challenge to California’s 10-day waiting period for firearms purchases that is intended to guard against impulsive violence and suicides.
______________

And only Clarence Thomas dissented.

It's not a blow, it's just stupid. At most it means you have to burn extra gas. To think I have to do another wait after I just bought a gun the week before is just asinine but expected in this atmosphere.

So is gun ownership an inalienable right according to Supreme Court?

Probably not. Otherwise why do you need to wait for 10 days to buy a gun in California?

And only one of the nine judges in Supreme Court opposed the restriction.

The tide has turned.

Sounds to me like a perfect optic of " doing something" without " doing anything".

You listed wars in Gaza and Lebanon, from which I concluded you are from Israel.
