So we should.....um, gosh, what could we possibly do? I feel like it's pointing right at my nose, but I can't put my finger on it.
Violate the Constitution and try and ban handguns? The 2nd Ammendment guarantees the right to own firearms for common defense, and personal defense. Banning handguns would violate the Constitution. It has already been tried and ruled on. But politicians keep on trying it. They want to be seen trying. Results are secondary. State office holders want to move up, AGs want to move up to governor, and governors up to federal officel. No respect for wasting tax payers money trying to defend their illegal legislation. They should be using that taxpayers' money for mental/emotional health awareness and treatment, free gun locks for those who didn't get one when they purchased their firearms, things like that, that will benefit everyone.
A massive push toward mental health awareness would not work toward dividing the people and bolstering votes. Screaming to ban AR-15s works much better for political goals.
Free barrel or trigger locks would be easy, I have several, every gun comes with one, you can have mine.
