Anyhow... back to Trump:

Only more Guns can solve the problem apparently.

I think it was a trump thing to suggest that teachers being armed would be the solution to school shootings?

Guns don’t kill people, rappers do.

I heard it on a documentary on BBC2.

It would appear the good luck may be required closer to home?

• Gun violence by state
  Some states took action to address gun violence, including Michigan and Minnesota expanding background checks, and Colorado, Vermont, and Washington state imposing waiting periods on firearm purchases.
  
  The deadliest mass shooting of 2023 occurred in Lewiston, Maine, when a gunman killed 18 people and wounded 13 others. The gunman later committed suicide.

Yep. Lots of gun violence. And?

You’re COMPLETELY missing the point, so I’m not going to waste my time.

Having been on the receiving end when hiding out in a store room with a suspected active shooter in the mall you can actually see where they are coming from in a bizarre way. I had nothing to defend my family with and it occurred to me that if I lived there and could carry a concealed weapon I bloody well would.

Mental really.

And, you should as a nation probably have another look at a primitive constitutional right that was based on the wild west. It's on a par with Muslim rules on shellfish - which were a sensible idea pre-refrigeration.
The reason it's applicable here (besides the tens of thousands of deaths) is that the gun (and pro life) lobby empower the likes of trump and neuters the democrats. It distorts your democracy,

The Constitution isn’t getting amended anytime soon! FFS, we can’t even agree to do a Border Bill, because it’s not draconian enough for the MAGA fucktards!

If you think you can find the votes to change 2A, then I’m not sure what to say. It is a matter of FREEDOM to many Americans, and a matter of necessity to many others.

The U.S. still has frontier country, where shit kills you for fun and guns are a way of life. Plus, the foundational reason for guns is felt more vehemently today than ever before for those that will die on that hill, as it is to protect you from the Government, not your neighbor!
