That was meant for
@Grinner who started the snark.
And I have yet to read a single practical and useful suggestion on this forum from most of the snarky attitudes towards gun threads so feel free to link anything you believe supports your assertion that "many different ideas" that are actually useful have been posted.
The thing you have to realize is that this is not a new issue and unless you have reasonable answers to those questions I listed based on knowledge, research and personal experience just posting the 129357th "woe is Americans" post gets really tiresome to read in these threads.
I know you mean well langster and you are unfairly getting my ire at the cumulative posts from many Europeans on here over the years that amount to posting exasperation at America or Americans and nothing more than tribalist shit talking. Its really not any more helpful than "thoughts and prayers. So apologies to you personally.
This right here is the biggest hurdle IMO:
If people don't believe the laws will be applied equally, fairly or even at all, then they will not accept passing legislation as any sort of realistic solution. The belief among many poor and minorities is that any gun control laws will simply be applied to
them while the mass shooters will simply slip through the cracks as they already do.
Before people can believe passing laws will mean anything, they have to trust the government to pass and enforce the laws. That trust is whats been eroded and I think it has to come before any realistic push for gun control laws.
