Gun Control & RKBA
Related: About this forumHey, fellow RKBAers.
Despite my searching, I can't seem to find any archive or compilation of what we, as RKBA proponents, have come up with when it comes to solving the gun violence issue. Can anyone direct me to a post or series of posts like that, or if not, would anyone be willing to actually start up something of a symposium where we can actually focus our efforts and offer up proposals that might stand a chance of actually doing anything?
I'd like to get a few like minded folks onboard, but I know how things roll here, so I won't blame you if you're a bit skeptical of my intentions.
Thanks for your time and consideration, folks. Stay safe out there. o7
EDIT: Holy crap, this was my thousandth post? Sweet. Also kind of sad, but sweet.

Although the mass shootings grab the headlines, the fatalities in those shootings are something like 1/10th of the murders that occur on an annual basis. So if the goal is to decrease gun deaths, let's focus on the root causes of those murders, like the drug war, poverty and the lack of quality education for all. In any event, a ban on guns is both unconstitutional and completely unrealistic, so shouldn't even be in the conversation. If your starting point in negotiations is grounded in fantasy then negotiations won't get far.

Focus on that, and I think we can slowly start to turn around the "gun control" movement to something reputable and fuckin' sane, Gods forbid, without ever restricting the right of anyone to own a firearm (within obvious reason; no need for a minigun.)

(1,954 posts)I was hoping there was a repository of some kind, or at least a catalog that was organized here. Honestly, I'm surprised there isn't one.
Welp, if there ain't one yet, there should be. You interested in helping out a bit?
