      I’m fine with adding in the safety nets, they’ll do 100xs more than any regulation you put in place will do. I’m not ok giving over a monopoly on force to people like the current Republicans. Why any of you think that’s a good idea is just insane.

        How does regulating guns so this sort of thing doesn’t happen again give Republicans a monopoly on force?

        You think the only way to even out the odds is to keep guns in the hands of dangerously mentally ill people? Really?

          Because the only way for shit like this to not happen in your world of gun regulation, requires a total ban.

          And a total ban gives whoever is in charge of the government a monopoly on force.

          People like you will call Republicans nazis and fascist…then want to remove any force multiplier from civs and then pray they don’t get elected. You’re naive at best and ignorant at worse.

            The only way to stop severely mentally ill people from obtaining guns is a total ban? Are you absolutely sure about that? There’s no regulation out that that would mitigate the problem?
