What makes you think that passing more laws is going to change anything? You're the one who is crazy if you think that passing some law is going to make all guns disappear from our country. There's a reason they call criminals "criminals". It's because they don't obey the laws.
If all the law abiding citizens turned in their guns (never going to happen), then what is to stop or even deter home invasion type crimes? The criminals would know that Mr and Mrs homeowner have no weapons other than perhaps a kitchen knife, so the criminals would be free to do as they wish whenever they wish.
How many single women living alone would ever feel safe or be safe from attack in their own home or apartment? Keep in mind that the simple fact that most adults today are allowed to own guns has a considerable deterrent effect even if some individuals don't actually own a gun.
The criminals don't know who does or who doesn't own a gun. That simple fact helps protect even those who don't own a gun. Or perhaps you would like to post a big sign on your front door to the effect that "No Guns In This House". That would certainly tell everyone how you really feel about guns, right?
Ask the millennials. They are the ones who will make the final decisions, probably within the next decade or so. As with a lot of things in life, gun ownership seems to follow the 80-20 rule. 20% of gun owners own 80% of the guns. Because access to rural and public land has shrunken in the last fifty years, fewer kids are hunting, which is where most kids used to get their first experience with firearms. Every successive generation since then has owned progressively fewer guns. Now they are determined to do whatever they can to stop mass shootings. If the gun interests are wise they will join the conversation before they are relegated to obscurity.

So then, your answer is that you don't have an answer to any of the relevant questions I asked. Got it.
Age has nothing to do with voting. Many 18 year old's have more smarts then the older generations. It's not the younger generation voting for QAnon members and believing their conspiracy theories.
Yes, won't be long and the youth of today will be the Leadership of tomorrow, whether you like it or not.
Maybe they will do a better job than what we have done.

You do know that QAnon is the completely madeup boogey man of the left/media. It doesnt exist.

Well, you certainly see a lot of people with Qanon shirts on at Trump Rally's.
And they are screaming at top of their lungs (and message boards) about Trump being the REAL President....yeah how could it not be what you call the Left/Media?
Sadly enough, it really exists.
