Gun Control & RKBA

Got a bit riled up and hurried so word salad might be over rating it.

330 or so million Americans. Unless you are a mega rich corporation, most of the rest of us have to compromise. The reality of the gun situation in the nation is that we aren't likely to ban guns and yet we do have a gun violence problem.

The more we seek out common ground on a democratic party side of the aisle (because as noted the repubs have completely lost their minds) the better the solution will be. I believe that there is a solution that will preserve the RKBA and that will greatly reduce gun violence, but it's going to take economic and social reforms that the repubs and the DNC side of the party reject as not advancing the corporate agenda.

I grew up when guns were common place and in the back of many trucks and students would go hunt after school. The war on some drugs started the quick downward slide and now increasing social and economic pressure has boiled up anger and over-response. I think we can achieve getting or keeping guns out many of the worst offenders. Then things like building an adequate mental health support system and other support structures are not only within the scope of the Constitution, but are actually achievable in less time than amending the Constitution and confiscating guns which is a solution I don't support anyway. The key difference is reducing gun violence as opposed to removing guns. Neither is easy. I believe the former is more within the scope of the current Democratic platform and would garner more votes than the latter.
