    I wouldn’t address it, honestly I think a better way to handle the issue is to fix our education & healthcare systems and stiffen up penalties for unsecured firearms some.

    I think that would solve the vast majority of the problem, and there would no longer be sufficient reason to bother.

      Plus there are so so many guns already in the US. People sort of forget the US gun culture when talking about passing gun ban similarly done by other countries. We have more guns than people just in civilian possession that you can’t forcibly take away, and countless more in gun shops and factories you’d have to buy up and compensate. The bill would likely be unfathomably expensive, while pissing everyone off, and will be immediately undone by the next president.
