    He's gonna raise everyone's kids to understand guns and knives aren't the answer. That's a lot of kids and a lot of adoptions but if he's able to do it then father of the year.

    Maybe don't ban all drugs or all guns. How about just the most dangerous ones? We're not going to make heroin legal for recreational use are we? No. We can ban assault weapons. Yes, making something illegal creates black markets. But it would still be harder to get a black market gun than one from the local store. This is especially true for an isolated person who may act on impulse. But I don't know. Maybe you raising everyone's kids is the easier solution.

    How is that going to work in Florida where Stalin De Santis doesn't think pupils should discuss Race and Slavery, where books are banned, the word 'Gay' is banned? Given that Florida is making it easier to purchase firearms and kiddy-shredding ammo, the last thing this American is going to do is expect schools to educate children =who is indoctrinating whom?

    Agreed. He sucks on the tit of Fox News by the sound of it, athought this quote is pure gold.


    "Secondly, the Democratic party is dividing this country against each other. How if you go against abortion, LGBTQ community, black people to name a few. They call you racist, fascist, bigot, white supremacist and many other names. Because if you don't go along with what they are pushing. You're the most disgusting human being and nobody goes against Democrats"

    If you are anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ and anti black people ... I've news for you. YOU ARE a racist, fascist, bigot supremacist!!!

    Your post has to be a parody, or are you really that backwards?

    Put guns off the table and let's talk TRANS ACCEPTANCE.
    Once again, that starts out in the home with parents educating their kids to be tolerant about all people.

    It all starts out in the home....

    Where does this begin?
    Once again, in the home.....

    For the older generations, acceptance is tougher thing to bring about - I know this as a Black American.
    But kids are easier to teach acceptance than adults.....

    However, when I look at success reality of previous bans (drugs/alcohol) coupled with what's coming through at the border - I just don't know how effective it would be.
    Would it put a dent in killing? Yeppers!

    But we have to reduce the demand which once again starts with educating youth....

    So what was the point of your previous 500 posts resisting the idea?

    What kind of gun ban? You'd have to repeal the Second Amendment to get rid of them completely, and that's not going to happen in any foreseeable future in this country. The Supreme Court has now said that gun bans (as in Chicago and New York) are unconstitutional. We had an assault weapons ban before, and that could be revived, but not with a Republican majority in the House. I suppose assault weapons could be banned at the state level, but that will only work in blue states currently. It'd be a start, but much more needs to be done.

    Republicans like to blame shootings on mental health, but they won't fund mental health treatment, and they won't deny guns to the mentally ill. And they also think that forcing teachers to be armed bodyguards for minimal pay with no training will prevent school shootings, so that shows where they are in regard to mental health.

    Your brilliant plan seems to rely on intolerant parents being willing to bring up their kids to be tolerant.
