theres the whole problem with gun control. its NEVER enough.
What? You don't get to say that if we basically never try anything, there are things that have been seen to be effective elsewhere. They would be enough, not enough to 100% prevent the problem but it's moronic to say "fixing 90% of a problem doesn't fix the whole problem so it's not worth it"

How do you know? You truly think that banning the sale of guns to people with violent crimes in their history would do nothing? You truly think universal background checks would do nothing?
Pretty much everybody who studies these kinds of things for a living disagree with you and your only answer seems to be "nope".
Because all of the changes proposed by so-called "experts," often bought and paid for by anti-gun groups such as Everytown and the Brady Campaign, are feel-good measures meant to slowly whittle down the rights of John Q. Public. They do not even come remotely close to even touching the root of the gun violence problem because if they did, they could no longer use the excuse of "well that didn't work as well as we thought it would. Luckily, we can try implementing this new suggestion made by our experts to solve the problem" ad nauseam.
You act like we've tried them. We haven't. It's delusional to think people who are purposing things that could curb mass shootings would be upset if mass shootings were reduced because their "true motive" is taking away rights from John Q public.
Gun control is like the movie WarGames: the only winning move is not to play. ---
