anything but the actual, common sense, solution
They don't do common sense over there.
Which is what? Details please. Your solution must be legal and practical. Go.
Let more children die. That's legal and practical.
Otherwise you'd have to have legislators do their jobs and make laws.
get some of the guns off the streets; particularly automatics and semi autos. those didn’t exist for maybe the first quarter to half of the history of the country. feels like every other civilized country seems not to have these problems like we do.
Trump has shown us that we can, in fact, send federal agents to enforce laws (and then some) without so much as a whimper. So the solution is obviously to confiscate the guns.
yea not one second amendment andy is doing shit against tyrannical government lol
You must enact this plan without running afoul of the 2nd Amendment. It exists and courts have upheld it to mean a personal right to gun ownership.
Doesn't matter if you like it. Doesn't matter if I like it. The 2nd Amendment is a fact. The court rulings are a fact.
So? Got a realistic plan?
trump and by proxy his supporters, cherry pick laws (much like many religious folk do with their biblical teachings) and those who enforce them, openly muses and acts on disobeying long standing, precedented law. congress and the supreme court have abdicated any semblance of independence to the culture cult. for example: trump is trying to end birthright citizenship.
all those second amendment defenders cry foul of any changes to it in the name of protection from tyrannical government, yet tyrannical government is here and no one bats an eye.
history is repeating itself, especially when you’re following nazi playbooks. How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy in 53 Dayshttps://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/01/hitler-germany-constitution-authoritarianism/681233/
there is absolutely nothing normal about what’s going on and yet trigger fingers stand idly by as rome burns
Your god king has already ignored the constitution countless times in the past 9 months. The second amendment means nothing, all thanks to him.
A new constitution. Your government doesn’t give a shit about it, so make a new one.
That involves first shooting the 2nd amendment folk so you still need to have guns though?
Wow Americans love violence so much you can literally not think of another way, huh?
I'm not American.
There are tens of millions of rabid Trump supporters with guns. They are not willing to compromise on any single issue and if you disagree with the emperor, that's treason.
How exactly are you going to win their hearts and minds while being a wanted terrorist (which you will be declared as, since being against fascism is now officially terrorism)?
Oh, America.
