I think things would be a lot different now if AR-15 type rifles were never sold to the general public, but remained in the military. It's too late now since so many have been sold. Granted, maybe 1 in several thousand sold have been used in mass shootings, but it doesn't take many. A person can't use what they don't have. Given that it's too late to ban them, at least ban sales of high capacity magazines.

Keep in mind that I tend to be conservative, but this sort of thing has gotten out of hand.

Some of it is better trained law enforcement and courts that work more efficiently. I'm hopeful on this one.

Yes, the criminal does not matter, arrest the gun.

Keep in mind there were many left wing violent attacks by BLM and Antifa in 2020 when Democrats were shutting things down everywhere for longer than just a short term flatten the curve reasons.

Biden promised to unify but has done everything he can to divide the nation.

I hate to break it to you, but the Democrats are not done with lockdowns or mandates. They’ve gotten a taste of the power and love it, so they’ll be going back to it as soon as possible. That’s why every American who values freedom and individual rights needs to vote against every Democrat on the ballot. In every race.

Because the Republicans were running around like chickens with their heads cut off and the heads still kept yelling, "Voter fraud!" "The elections were fixed!" "Donald Trump is our REAL President!" and countless other like slogans that were also all false.

Conservatives wanted to hang on to every last firearm that they possibly could just in case Sean Hannity decided that we should have a Civil War which would boost his ratings numbers.

It didn't help that every 18 year-old male in the US was going through a severe identity crisis because self declared trans people were allowed to use any restroom they felt like and - worse yet - unisex restrooms were popping up all over the country. What was an 18 year-old to do to prove that he was a manly man?

Why go to a gun show and stock up on bullets and ammunition, of course. These troubled young men usually returned to the Grade School or Junior High where he had been subjected to relentless bullying. "I'm back!" these extremely unbalanced young men would yell to the Kindergarten class or possibly the First Grade if our crazed shooter was brave enough to face the big kids.

And the rest would have been history had these incidents not kept repeating themselves on a daily basis. Republicans must be so proud of themselves for "thinning the herd" just in case any of these little kids grew up to be Democrats.

LOL!

Blaming Trump for long term lockdowns when the Democrats were screaming holy hell that states were opening up and should be shut down until after the election.

Now That's Rich!

I know you’d love to take responsibility away from government criminals and shift it to the average Joe, but most of us woke up to this fact already.
You know I answered the question honestly.
What’s your suggestions, other than criticisms
Typical. Everyone else is wrong but you got nothing of any value to put out there.
