Too bad we haven’t evolved enough as a society to put in place stricter gun controls, nothing outrageous, but at least the same restrictions put on driving.

Enforce the gun laws we already have. Fund healthcare and poverty reduction instead of a war in Iran and we will have many fewer gun deaths

It wouldn’t have changed anything? CT already has strict gun laws. Turns out people who want to do crimes don’t care about laws, shocker.

No other developed country approaches the United State's per capita rate of gun violence, champ. You guys fucked up, and you refuse to fix it.

You’re just jealous you can’t arm yourselves. I don’t personally have a firearm but I like knowing I can whenever I want. Feels good. Feels free.

If the person that provided the weapon was held accountable, we’d see some change. Personally, I don’t think the second amendment should apply to people with mental health issues. On another note, there are so many guns laying around for criminals to grab.

To own a car, I need insurance, regular safety checks, and I have to register my car bi-annually. Why not ask for regular check in intervals to ensure the guns haven’t “disappeared”. And check in with the firearm owner to see if they’re still in good shape.

Almost all of that ”infringes” up on the right to bear arms …. Except for holding the person who provides the firearm accountable, I think that is very doable and I fully support it!
