The difference is a historically very recent ruling by a whacko SCOTUS that changed gun ownership from a regulatable behavior to what is basically a religious one, which cannot be regulated.
It’s not the guns it’s the lack of trust/respect for each other that is the root cause of the unnecessary violence and deaths. Our divisive political system is tearing our nation apart.
An infant republic adopted the Greco-Roman idea of militias drawing on a self-armed citizenry as a cheap way to defend its frontiers. That is the Second Amendment, perverted into the blood-soaked travesty it is today.
It’s saddening when someone like Wuerker lies and supposedly intelligent Dem viewers applaud rather than feel anger about being lied to. In what way is their behavior different to that of the GOP dupes whom they despise?
Here’s an idea. A real property tax on firearms. They tax everything else, why not firearms? Every year, you’d get a bill. If you wanted to avoid the tax, bring your weapon(s) to a certified decommissioning site for a credit. Maybe throw in a 24 of Bud to sweeten the deal.
Gun nuts are also ‘’anti-tax’’ nuts. Faced with this conundrum, they’d go bat-sh!t crazy.
The firearms industry is one of the most heavily regulated industries there is. Anyone who says otherwise is either ignorant or lying. Ask yourself this: When’s the last time you had to pass an FBI background check to buy a cigar?
GOP sand NRA turned the USA into the murder capitol of the world by insuring every murderous crazy person has access to a gun but not mental health care.
This is funny. You’ve never been to California, the regulation capitol of the world! A state that requires a background check when you buy ammo, $20 for the check on a $15 box of ammo. That’s just to start.

I think, to be really up to date, the guy holding the rifle needs a bigger ammo clip. Just a suggestion.

Evidently, to many Americans, happiness is.. owning an arsenal. And the less regulated.. the happier they are.

You, killing YOU, is one thing.
You, killing Someone Else, is another matter entirely.

It’s way too late to do any thing about guns and the nuts that want to use them to kill!

Disarm the cops and disband the military before you try to disarm the working class.
