Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Why should law abiding gun owners be punished because of crazy people. Look at Switzerland all healthy men 18-34 are required to do some military service if I am not mistaken and they allowed and generally pushed to keep their assault rifles and pistols. They have a very low rate of gun violence. Taking guns away from people means only the criminals have guns.

Isn't that the logic that's used by gun sellers? But I understand your stance. If US is going as far to build a wall to prevent people from entering, sending military to cities, do you really think they can't take away guns from everyone good n bad?
Though I totally see the point of individual protection, have they changed the incidence of mass shootings? If not, there's obviously something wrong with the current stance.
All I'm saying is we need to explore options that we haven't.
Well, they haven't managed to build that wall, have they? So what makes you think they'd be more competent at disarming people?
Remember prohibition, when they tried to ban alcohol? Did that stop people from drinking? So yeah, there are definitely things the US government can't do.
But since you're apparently eager to explore other options, have you considered treating gender dysphoria as a mental health issue and figuring out how to help people accept their birth sex instead of promoting transgenderism as the cure? Seems like there's been a whole slew of trans-identified shooters recently, clearly something is not working with that approach.
Sure it is a big issue, the main issue that’d deter me from ever voting democrat. But I can’t argue that it’s the only issue. All I’m saying is that it should be multi pronged approach.
Treat mental health issues, stop guns, maybe stricter punishments.
