Handguns are banned but control works there very good. Semi-automatic weapons over a 22 are banned. Why can we so this in America? We had bans in the prohibition era that mostly worked. The Brady Bill worked. Why not install similar ones now? Oh wait, politicians are beholden to their Donnie class masters. Just ask Mr. McConnell and Mr. Trump who had HUGE contributions from the NRA.
Prohibition did not work, bootleggers were everywhere and a bunch of people died from bad alcohol.

" We had bans in the prohibition era that mostly worked."
If it worked so well why was it eliminated?
"Oh wait, politicians are beholden to their Donnie class masters."
More childish accusations.
And some wonder why we CAN'T have honest adult discussions.
Back to the subject:
The so-called "gun control" advocates have spent the last several decades proving (inadvertently) that their half measures do not work. "Assault weapons" bans, waiting periods, "gun free" zones, background checks, and all the rest rarely reduce the crime rate, and often result in an increase instead. And yet they keep coming back and saying we need "just a little more" of their "reasonable restrictions".
When they point to countries whose results they like, they invariably point to places like England, Japan, Australia, etc. - countries that have almost completely banned guns from their subjects.
Take the hint.
In fact, complete bans of all guns are the only things that have ever reduced "gun crimes". And they must be accompanied by ruthless confiscation. Advocates who say they want "just some reasonable regulations", know by now they won't work. The only thing they could now be intending, is an eventual complete ban on all guns. While pretending they will do only just a little, to fool you into going along with "just a little". And then next year, just a little more.
Their total gun bans must be accompanied by SWAT teams going door to door to every house and apartment in America, taking people's guns whether they want to give them up or not. They know that many people will object to giving up their guns voluntarily... but a gun ban won't work unless everybody turns in their guns.
Advocates who say they want a few "reasonable regulations", are either astonishingly ignorant of the results of their own policies, or are lying to you.

They are though. Just face the facts that politicans only side with what the donor class wants from them. The NRA put 50m in 2016 election for 7 races and only lost one. They also paid for many Floridian politicans. How does that not play into the debate.
And some wonder why we can't hold an honest adult conversation...
There are dozens of other guns they can use to kill just as many. Go after the cause, it isn't the gun.
The guns are the tool, and a very effective one considering the use of semi-automatics. The issue is the cause isn't single or exclusive to one entity and some have to look at themselves in the mirror, the parents.
The NRA wants you have to shootouts between "good" and "bad" guys. If they make everyone think everyone needs a gun good or bad, then everyone goes buys a gun and increases their profits.
Are you really that stupid to not figure it out by now?
So why don't you tell us what the bigger picture is?
