My take on this. We just need less men in this country

I’m not saying take all of your guns away, but that’s where gun owners keep going, 0-100. Making guns harder to get would seem to be a good way to begin preventing mass shootings. Raise the to buy them. Close the Charleston loophole. Make background checks more thorough, and run them through all state and federal databases. Require training and licensure that must be periodically renewed. 

Everything you are proposing is not going to do anything to help right now. I'm not sure what "making it harder" looks like. Is this just a bureaucratic process that is so cumbersome and expensive that it deters people from buying a gun? What if someone already has guns and completed a thorough background check? Should it still be really difficult for them to buy another one? Is this training going to be provided free of charge? If not this will disproportionately affect lower income people. We've heard Democrats state that black people have a hard time getting IDs so they are prevented from exercising their right to vote yet they don't have a problem if they are prevented from this right? This shouldn't be limited to people that have money. Fix the NICS database that we have and ensure all local jurisdictions have the ability and infrastructure to report everything as needed. I think we already have the systems in place but they aren't as efficient as they can be. Actually enforce gun laws so that people who violate these laws are put into the system and prevented from purchasing firearms in the future. Teach children at a young age how to properly and safely handle firearms to prevent accidental/negligent shootings (those are 100% avoidable). We teach them how to put on condoms for the same reasons.

Spoken like a true woke lib that parades as a moderate. I’m willing to bet woke ideology isn’t  the only thing you keep in the closet. 

I keep a gimp.

Seriously, STFU. This act isn’t funny in here, troll. You have nothing of value to add playing this sick caricature. There are plenty of real conservatives in this forum. Take your cosplay back to the furry convention.

What’s sick about supporting the second amendment and opposing woke liberalism?  You libs can hurl 3 pages of insults and get butt hurt the moment someone responds.

Maybe it's time to revisit the 2nd amendments value to this generation and the American way of life. Many laws out live their usefulness.

We have the ability to amend the constitution. Unfortunately libs will go the back door route and undermine liberty.

Right up there with doors, video games, and faithlessness. It’s one obfuscation after another. Although, this does align with Herschel Walker’s proposed “Department to Look at Men Who Are Looking at Women Looking at Social Media.” It’s all just misdirection until we forget, then it’ll just happen again. Like a hamster on a wheel.

While morally correct Lincoln did set a precedent of side stepping the constitution. Blame the second amendment for murder at your own peril. Don’t be shocked when the 1st amendment becomes too dangerous and is removed. If weapons not individuals kill the leap will be made that speech not individuals kill

and the 4th with the Patriot Act. Why are we pretending that congress even cares about liberty anymore?

We may as well start reviewing all the amendments

No!  We must read the constitution as written. It is not a changeable document!

Let's say it was repealed. What do you think states like California and New York would then do?

You can't change an amendment.
