Excuse me, NO politician? Not Lucy McBath (D-Ga) who literally ran on gun control to flip her seat after her 17 yo son was shot to death by a white man over a noise complaint? Not "yes I will take your guns" Beto ORourke? Not literally-survived-being-shot -in-the-face Gabby Giffords?
You completely undermine these anti-gun politicians & the work they do when you deny they even exist.
No politician wants to change these gun issues so this will continue.
Because they know that to try would be political suicide. So much of the US population fetishizes gun ownership and makes it a corner stone of their personality that it is basically impossible to change.
I don't think it's even because of that. About 70% of Americans support measures like psychiatric evaluations or waiting periods, maybe even more. NRA is also not that powerful as a lobbyist, most politicians would be fine without it's support. The only issue is that it would require some actual work and they wouldn't gain anything from it and American politicians simply aren't used to doing anything useful anymore.
BS, there are plenty of federal politicians who promote gun control, and there are even more state politicians who support it, as evidenced by the 3 states (CO, WA, MD) who passed gun control measures in 2023 alone .
When you say "no one's doing this & never will", you're completely undermine the people who literally are doing this right now.
Will, you see they need their guns and they can't possibly have any coherent gun laws because of an old piece of paper written hundreds of years ago. It all makes perfect sense and isn't in any way stupid at all.
The law was made back when war was conducted by everyone standing in a field and shooting in the approximate direction of the opposing force, and eventually hitting someone. Just maybe the constitution is out of date now? Just a radical thought.
No, it's listed in the article as a mass killing, not shooting.
Another attack occurred on Sunday in New York City, when a 38-year-old man stabbed four of his relatives – including two children – as well as another woman and two police officers before they shot him. That was the country’s 41st mass killing of 2023
