It’s the community’s job to keep guns from dangerous people (like people who would be cops), not the state’s. Giving up rights is never the answer to any problem.
Wait hold on can you go more in depth about what you mean by this? It’s sounding like if I think someone is dangerous I should go and take their guns.
I said “It’s the community’s job to keep guns from dangerous people”, I don’t actually think it’s possible to completely keep guns from dangerous people and who is considered dangerous is very subjective.
What I was trying to say is that any state level efforts are going to cause more problems than they solve. So maybe the way to prevent little Johnny from shooting up his school isn’t strict laws that disarm a population, but rather identifying and fixing the community and family issues that brought Johnny to a place where he thought shooting up his school was the best course of action.
You know one thing I think would have a huge effect on this? Making lying and stoking fear for profit and calling yourself “news” illegal. Fox News damaging families and stoking flames is a much bigger problem then gun quantity.

No, and I probably used the wrong wording.
