The Bill of Rights was actually passed through the same process that amended and can still amend the cons ution. So there’s a way. I don’t think I would particularly see the change in my lifetime, but that doesn’t mean that every one of these episodes don’t put additional mounting pressure to do something about it. It doesn’t even have to be a complete removal of the right, but a more carefully tailored wording would likely go a long way towards making some common sense regulations withstand legal scrutiny. And yes, it might take a fairly large social movement for that to happen.
You can actually talk about some of this stuff in non-emotional/non-anecdotal ways (ie: we can discuss mental health problems that lead to this, magazine capacities, etc). What makes it useless is that there’s no traction due to the fact that certain people simply don’t want to even address the problem, or at least a problem big enough to be addressed without entering into some slippery slope area. And so this is largely why we keep coming back to this without moving forward in any direction.
Could be a pipe dream. Certainly I don’t see even an attempt to use the available toolbox to at least try to bandaid the problem. There’s a lot of polarization and certainly not a good time for this, but I think public opinion can be swayed over time. At least I’d like to think as civil humans we can do a lot better than this.
" "people" simply don’t want to even address the problem"
people didn't cause the gun proliferation and gun violence problem, and they know they are powerless to solve it.
"people" are powerless to solve any problem, make any progress For The People, not matter how "swayed" their opinions are
Get a ing clue who runs the USA for profit, and it certainly ain't the "people"
the Jews come up to punctuate specific key phrases. Soros: “those who control the levers of power in Washington”; Yellen “global special interests”; Blankfein “put money into the pockets of handful of large corporations.”

in 2017 Trump blamed anti-semitism on Jews trying to make him look bad, a few hours after David Duke said the same thing.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-a7604801.htmlMr Trump responded by calling the threats "reprehensible, but then added that, "sometimes it's the reverse, to make people or to make others look bad." Mr Shapiro said that he had repeated the word "reverse" a number of times, stressing that the attacks might be perpetuated by Jewish people.

You're not discussing it objectively either. A dismissive wave of the hand is just that.

Farrell has evidence about his hated Jew Soros?
This post demonstrates that you're shielding DJT from responsibility for his own words.
see the globe?
the Soros boogeyman
Still not clear to me why Soros using his wealth/resources to influence politics is so evil when the right has guys like Charles Koch and Sheldon Adelson who have more wealth and pour more money into politics than Soros does.
For the VRWC / oligarchy / Repugs, any opposition is illegitimate.

I hope DMC sprains his wrist patting himself on the back for his objectivity during the dry run for fascism.

Trump jokes that he considered cancelling speech to FFA
not b/c of the mass shooting in Pittsburgh,
but b/c his hair got wet while talking w/reporters about the shooting.
"At least you know it's mine...
I said, 'maybe I should cancel this arrangement b/c I have a bad hair day.'"

Did you get it all out?

Consider hate speech, for example. There's a push now to do something about it. Do you think the 1st Amendment will be altered?
We live in a country of people who have no concern for other people. In Japan, people will stand in long lines and wait their turn because they are conditioned over generations to consider the collective and use an honor system. In the US, it's every man for himself and has been since the onset. That will not change with legislation. When you have so many different cultures who fundamentally disagree with one another, all living together, you're going to have issues. Japan has a geneous culture and Americans living there often stand out because they bring with them American tendencies to bypass courtesy in favor of being 1st. Individualism is king in the US. We talk about players instead of teams. Players on their own teams to get ahead in the game (Kawhi Leonard) and the concept of honor is just a fancy talking point. That won't change in our lifetimes and it's not getting better.
We have talked about it for years. Nothing has changed. We don't move forward because the proposed changes are ineffective placebos ( https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/sho...&highlight=gun ) and even those placebos are resisted by conservatives. The suggesting that a full gun ban be considered was treated like a radioactive waste drum because the left is afraid to go there in fear they will isolate a large portion of their voter base.You can actually talk about some of this stuff in non-emotional/non-anecdotal ways (ie: we can discuss mental health problems that lead to this, magazine capacities, etc).

My point is that "someday someone will do something about it" isn't a viable plan. I've asked people here what they would propose as a solution and the large majority of them either refuse to answer or they say something similar to "someone needs to fix it".
some of the people who post here, like Boutons here, are very similar in approach to those who commit these shootings. Many of you are mentally unstable hermits who spend your lives campaigning for a political cause through mass information reposting.11 People Dead in Pittsburgh, drumpf Jokes About Having "A Bad Hair Day."
