Gun control is a dead horse

Why are we still beating that dead horse? It'd be great if the horse got up and ran, but it never does. Until someone figures out how to Frankenstein a horse, we need to find other means to address the problem.

I propose classroom K9s.

No, People in the States are passing laws to allow a woman to obtain an abortion legally in States where it is limited. It takes time to change the populace minds, but it can be done.

then to protect what will be an unpopular dictatorship, the government will ban all guns from public ownership.. If you own a gun you will be arrested and put to death. Why do the Republicans want the right to bear arms protected. Because those who will arm themselves would support a Republican strong man who moves to eradicate opponents, true democratic republicans (Us). They will start out pushing to protect the US from the invasion from the south of the boarder. using militias, then move on to the opposition to protect American democracy (which will be us). Sfter which they will confiscate all weapons.
