Then why don’t they happen in Australia and Great Britain???
How come they have one a decade and we have 3 a year???
That just doesn’t hold up to any scrutiny..
That said people would NEVER accept confiscation, nor has ANY politician proposed it, but if you hand them out like candy. What do we think we are gonna get?!?

Gun sales are too profitable for them to do that
The only hope for any sane gun control is to vote out the NRA butt licking republicans.

First off I would like to say this has zero chance of happening , but it is the only thing that would actually help significantly AND not cause a civil war...
I think this would address all the realistic issues such as “if the good owners turn them in, Only the bad guys have them.”
That is to stop making more guns...
Stop adding to the pile..

Or just keep losing children when other places do not..
I mean your kid isn’t as important as your guns?? Right??
About 45% of playground-related injuries are severe–fractures, internal injuries, concussions, dislocations, and amputations (Tinsworth 2001). About 75% of nonfatal injuries related to playground equipment occur on public playgrounds (Tinsworth 2001). Most occur at schools and daycare centers (Phelan 2001). Between 1990 and 2000, 147 children ages 14 and younger died from playground-related injuries. Of them, 82 (56%) died from strangulation and 31 (20%) died from falls to the playground surface. Most of these deaths (70%) occurred on home playgrounds (Tinsworth 2001).

Micheal Moore’s “gun documentar’s“ conclusion was that it isn’t guns..
It is that the media makes everyone think a rapey serial killer is around every corner..
