    I appreciate your optimism but standing here in red rural America I don’t think it will ever happen. There are an insane amount of guns here with more and more every day.

      You’d be surprised what people are willing to let go of when they see children in their community being murdered. Doesn’t matter what political spectrum you’re on. There are major gun safety advocates who used to be 2a Rambo’s who lost children and realized how wrong they were. It’s just not worth it.

        thats the problem with conservatives in the untied states though… their complete lack of empathy means they dont care to change until someone kills their kid

        LOL, let me tell you about a town in Connecticut called Newtown and how the events there changed absolutely nothing about US gun policies…

          I’d urge you to actually look at the response. Look at the legacy section of the sandy hook shooting. It actually did change the laws in some places in other places it got worse.
