@Jaden2 My heart hurts with every shooting. I have no answers. I vote for gun control and legislators over rule my vote or the Courts step in and say it is unconstitutional. Some say it should be addressed using a public health model. That approach seems promising. It could be implemented locally while we wait for our national legislators to take action or we succeed in electing those who will. https://efsgv.org/learn/learn-more-about-gun-violence/public-health-approach-to-gun-violence-prevention/

Thing is, how is an armed mob storming the capital building any different to a single armed person entering a school and starting to shoot at children. Congress is acting robustly on those who stormed the building and those behind that.
The acts are the same they are ARMED because of successive government failure to implement some form gun controls equally there is a failure to help those with Mental health issues, failure to deal with work / school bullying and a host of other reasons.
@zleap @Jaden2 I’m not sure Congress is holding the armed mob responsible…the DOJ is. Congress, in my opinion, has done squat to keep it from happening again.
But I agree on the gun control. We have guns. We used to hunt. I’m from a long line of military. I don’t personally know anyone who opposes permits, mandatory training, red flag laws, and background checks. And I don’t understand those who do oppose such simple safety measures.
