I just had a huge fight with my roommate because he was trying to convince me that all 100% humans will be extinct soon because of global warming of 4 degrees.
sigh.

Even if that was the case, the daily WH briefings don't present a compelling case for it.
You know the government is fucking up bad when the journalists that voted for you are getting pissed.

Or it could be that government is much more occupied with demonizing threats to it over convincing people to their cause.

Remember that an entire criminal gang network was created around the alcohol ban. Are you absolutely sure this is a feasible direction to go down?
The black market charges a premium just for dealing illegally, actually.
Which means crime will pay for those suppliers....

Typical (Median) Annual Death Rate per Million People from Mass Public Shootings: US .058%, UK 0%
Yeah, and most of the deaths from mass shootings are from handguns, which I assume you can't accept as you cited a 0% rate.
Scotus won't change its mind anytime soon in our lifetimes on handgun ownership and didn't do so under the most left authoritarian court (FDR's SCOTUS)
2/3 vote with 3/4 ratification on the issue isn't possible either.
If you don't agree to a civil war to eliminate mass shooting deaths from handguns, then UK isn't a terrible option.

Good luck then.
UK banned all private guns after the 1776 disaster, I heard it isn't much worse to live there than the USA.

Do you think a civil war over private gun ownership would be worth it?

Self defense huh, you mean like defending yourself from a black kid ringing your doorbell.
Scotus has made it clear that isn't self defense.
Justice Scalia noted (in Heller) that the right to self-defense was considered a natural right that predated the Constitution and was recognized by the English common law. This natural law supersedes even Constitutional law. He also pointed to the widespread practice of individuals keeping firearms for self-defense in colonial and early American society.

Supreme Justice Alito claimed that "the Second Amendment right is fully applicable to the States." He explained that the "right to keep and bear arms for self-defense...is 'deeply rooted in this Nation's history and tradition,'" and that this right is "fundamental to our scheme of ordered liberty."
Justice Alito wrote that "the individual right to keep and bear arms for self-defense in the home...is central to the Second Amendment and its interpretation under Heller." ...."the handgun ban amounts to a prohibition of an entire class of 'arms' that is overwhelmingly chosen by American society for that lawful purpose," and that the ban "amounts to a prohibition on an entire category of 'arms' that Americans overwhelmingly choose for the lawful purpose of self-defense."
Justice Alito's opinion made clear that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual's right to keep and bear arms for self-defense, and that this right is applicable to the states as well as the federal government. His opinion also emphasized the importance of the right to self-defense in the home and the need to strike a balance between this right and the government's interest in regulating firearms. While you can spend years trying to eliminate rifles, handgun deaths, like the poor, will always be with us.

But plenty of high crime areas like Chicago and Detroit who lead the nation in Glock deaths have citywide bans on all sorts of specific weaponry EXCEPT the Glock. Why does the Glock get a complete pass?
While Chicago approved a ban on handgun ownership in 1982, the measure was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2010, the AP reported in 2018.
“Handguns are as legal in Chicago as they are in Dallas,” said John Donohue III, a law professor at Stanford University.
I guess this article explains why?

1. List the people you know that got vaccinated and died from covid.2. List the people that you heard didn't get vaccinated and died from covid.I will start:1. None2. Christian television network founder and preacher Marcus Lamb.
This is why people generally trust the CDC more than you. And a lot of people don't have that much faith in the CDC anymore after the big Covid fail with the lockdowns justified by a vaccine that didn't really slow the spread to any noticeable degree. Your list is entirely dependent on the censorship filter settings of MSNBC.

Abbot and his right-wing conservative Texans are stuck in 17 - 18 - 1900's in regards to race women and specifically pregnant womens right to body autonomy.
Does Perry have the same right to protect his body as a pregnant woman? Or is bodily autonomy a 1900's concept along with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

It's not the most deadly gun, it's the gun most frequently used because it's ready to conceal.
I would consider it the most deadly precisely because it is responsible for the most deaths. I don't really care about other guns being presently "potentially more dangerous"
There is always going to be the category of "most deadly gun responsible for most deaths"
I just find it odd that no politician talks about the deadly Glock.
All these exotic bans can't possibly affect the death rates from Glocks, if anything, it might increase them even further.
My question is, can you take any gun violence rhetoric seriously if the rhetoric purposely avoids the elephant in the room?
As a follow up, why are politicians on all sides purposely avoiding this discussion during the hand wringing exercises?
and I definitely don't think anyone should be allowed to just carry out around in public.
What if a large portion of the population decided to go into private security as a side job?
