If you think this country is getting rid of guns you’re the dumbass

But that’s a different argument. Do I think it’s gonna happen? No. Do I think it’s a solution to ending/significantly cutting down the number of mass shootings? Yes.

They’re intertwined but can be separate discussions

Banning the sale of handguns would probably make the biggest dent.

That said there are literal millions already out there. So you could try a mandatory buyback, but who's gonna send a bunch of 19 year old national guardsman door to door to force compliance? Hell I've got more than 10 handguns myself.

Something obviously needs to change, but there is no way it won't be messy.
