Inb4 morons that are against any gun legislation try to argue that it doesnt count as a mass shooting or think that this topic is somehow more disrespectful than just not doing anything about the issue like this isnt gonna happen again sometime this week probably

Truthfully I think America's penchant for sexual oppression combined with the 40 hour work week and no standardized paid leave has as much or more to do with shootings than the legality of certain firearms. Tens of millions of Americans own guns without any issue but you don't hear about them. Thinking that it's just gun access as the independent variable leading to our shootings, when 99.99% of people with access to guns use them as intended is just illogical. The fact that you can buy a gun anywhere is not why someone shoots a group of people.

Also didn't 2020 prove to leftists why we should not be so adamant about disarming the citizenry and therefore granting more power to law enforcement? And I say this as a progressive leftist. Leave the cognitive dissonance to the maga crowd, it's a bad look

So what's your solution? Just send armed officers to confiscate every unapproved gun in the country? I'm sure the police will handle that with zero violence and disparate racism. Obviously their track record there is splendid

most countries have had relatively successful buyback programs. they're complex, but the solution you proposed is not the solution that has been implemented in Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

Thing is... I don't know if it's the guns (well, gun culture) that's triggering the gun violence; if you exclude America as an outlier then crime rates vs. gun owernship don't really show any correlation.

Do you really think most Americans would trade in their guns? And the ones that do, you think those are the ones that would commit a mass shooting?

No dude, that isnt it. Do you want to hear actual solutions or do you just want to argue against weak straw man arguments?

Because actual solutions are pretty mundane and boring, theyre a whole bunch of small changes, they take years to really work, and you couldnt even make a very interesting movie about them.

The countries that have had buybacks were made mandatory and had a host of other laws implemented to force people to sell their own property (which the government never owned) against their will in most cases. It doesnt work like that in the US where theres already a massive amount of them out there and readily attainable. All the buyback programs that have been tried in various states have largely failed. what you tend to get is a bunch of grandpas old hunting rifles, a bunch of saterday night specials people bought for $100 and then turned in for $200 (which they can then go and buy 2 burner guns) or made their own stuff for $30 and turned them in for a huge profit. they had a similar problem with magazine buybacks and ended up stopping those since people would buy a shit ton of them for $10/ea online and end up turning them in for $25 a piece. based on what california has done, statistically the type of guns one would actually want off the street acounted for like 5% of the guns they turned in and even then theres no way of knowing if those specific guns would have ever wined up in an incident.

no, that's not what I'm saying. I'm not saying anything in particular about specific gun owners.

it would be a far longer and difficult process in the USA, I'll agree on that. I'd hope that even Americans that love their guns could get behind some other 'gun-control' measures involving more comprehensive background checks and waiting periods. I know criminals will still get their hands on guns. It still makes it more difficult in many instances for certain people to get their hands on weapons quickly.

Plus the Australian buyback was a disaster since they bought back for significantly less than the value of the gun, crippling the economy (at the time at least)

Disaster seems like hyperbole. I really can't find a lot of information on it effecting the Australian economy on a major scale, but I'm open to links.

Criticism is valuable, but emotional denunciation isn't. Sure, gun buyback programs can be improved. Doesn't seem like it went too poorly overall though.

a lot would

if someone has a gun for home defense theyll probably keep it but thats not really a big deal

but there are a bunch of people who would trade in guns that they dont really care about anymore for a few hundred dollars or so

and I dont care what your opinion is, there need to be more waiting periods and red flag laws to keep people in mentally unstable states from being able to get a gun

even if you dont like individual ideas being proposed thats no excuse to do nothing. The time for that is long past

ya it's a little hyperbole. The gist of it is a farmer would use their $500 gun (not to scale) for normal defense related activities (like hostile emus) after the buyback they only got maybe $150 (not to scale).

Let's continue to do nothing about this, it's been working out great so far.

You mean except gun-free zones, getting rid of rifle clubs at schools, increasingly onerous background checks, countless new legislation, etc? If anything, this proves that those measures DON'T work.

BADoglick posted... I'll also add that historically gun restrictions have typically led to disparate racism once applied

Considering that gun control was originally rooted in racism, it's unsurprising

grimhilde00 posted... does Japan have this many shootings? cause they got those things worse

They have mass stabbings. One guy stabbed 19 people to death (and injured 7 others) before politely turning himself in at a nearby police station.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagamihara_stabbings

Mass stabbings are big in China, too.

Considering Mead's posting history and support for authoritarian polices, I wouldn't be surprised if that was his solution. And besides getting rid of the Second Amendment, he's been a vocal critic of the First Amendment.

tbh, I kinda think that people pushing those claims *want* shit to end badly for the already-put upon legal gun owners who have endured over a hundred years of increasingly outrageous gun control measures.

I'm joking. Of course I know what onerous means. I'm not going to read a word or use a word without knowing what it means. If I joke about someone suggesting I don't know a word, it's because I'm making a joke about the fact that you're using trivial and insulting methods to demean my point of view, which will never help you to prove a point.

What you deem "onerous background checks" is commonplace in many countries that have many less gun deaths per capita than the USA.
