Of course they would. Just like anything else that hurts their feelings…and they’ll continue to defend and enable criminals while they do it.

you liberals are always saying.. UK, Canada, Australia, Sweden, and even Israel have some form of single payer.... well always saying until there is some shooting, they all of a sudden no talk about health care, just ban weapons
Bingo…they should simply move to those wonderful places, but I’d wager many couldn’t fend for themselves outside the US.

All Democrats? No, there are actually some normal, sane, moderate Democrats. Though they have been abandoned by the party when it was taken over by left-wing extremists like Sanders, Warren, the Squad, Waters and a few others of the Communist persuasion.

What are the requirements to amend the Constitution? IIRC a supermajority vote in the Senate (60%?) plus a 2/3 vote to ratify across all state legislatures. Most state governments aren't populated by the morons that the Dems have put in DC.

Many people on social media are now actively calling for repeal of the 2nd Amendment.

It would drastically decrease mass shootings...a uniquely American problem.

Unfortunately it probably won't happen...however 90% of Americans support increased background checks...that would be a good start!!

The country was handed over to the globalists (aka multinational corporations) by *both* parties during the 1990s and early 2000s. The technical term for it is Neoliberalism. Despite the name, it has nothing to do with social “liberalism” like legal abortion, gay marriage, gun control, environmentalism, and other policies typically favored by Democrats. Neoliberalism is primarily an economic ideology that favors “free” markets and low (or no) barriers to international trade.

The primary purpose of Neoliberalism is to destroy the bargaining power of labor worldwide (that means YOU, as a working person) by making the labor pool global. That way YOU are forced to compete with people in third world countries who are happy to do your job for 1/10 the pay. With no bathroom breaks, benefits, or vacation. If labor anywhere gets too “uppity” by demanding unacceptable things like basic human dignity, the company can simply close up shop and move to an even crappier country. Or the company can just bribe government officials to send in the military to crush the labor movements.

Free speech and guns have not prevented Neoliberalism from conquering the globe. Money is a *far* more powerful weapon than guns or free speech. That’s particularly true if an unelected body like the Supreme Court declares that money IS free speech. Which they have done.

"BLM - We're Marxists" ... No you're anarcho-nihilists
"We're for common sense gun control" - No you're for banning guns.
"We want to ban assault weapons and semi-auto handguns" ... No you want to take our guns.
"We want to take buy back your AR-15s" ... No you're against the 2nd amendment.
"We're against the 2nd amendment." ... No you hate this country.
.... wait for it ....
"America is a wicked racist country that needs to be torn down and transformed. Borders are hate. White people are hate. Women are a construct. Men can get pregnant. The nuclear family is patriarchal oppression. Gender is a spectrum. "

So am I still a conspiracy theorist?
These days, conspiracy theories end up being spoiler alerts.

Ukraine set an example of what a well armed private citizens can do against a big bad government. The only way Democrats will ever confiscate all personal firearms from American citizens as if they had the absolute support of the military which they will never get. And if they tried to physically actually come for everyone’s guns, there would be a Civil War and resistance in pockets all across this country. As they wouldn’t be able to just carpet bomb people, they would have to go into these areas and physically remove guns from well armed citizens all across this country and it would not be pretty. And to what avail? The criminals will always still have guns in this country.

The gun issue isn’t about guns, it’s about control over the American people and that’s what they want.
