I agree with the closing the borders.
Statistics completely disagree with you in regards to gun laws. Red flag laws work. There's a reason the NRA is so opposed to them.
Requiring courses and licensures would cull some of these psychos.
Being put thru hours and hours of course work, tests, and other stuff to acquire a driving license but being able to purchase rifles with drum magazines on my 18th birthday with nothing but a background check to see if I'm a felon is absurd.
And just to show how absurd your comment about gun laws is you should look up some stats about when they banned assault rifles under clinton.
The DOJ's own study of the 1994 assault weapons ban even said that it did not cause a drop in gun violence.
The AWB was also just nonsense, banning guns based on cosmetic features that have absolutely no bearing on the gun's function. The only thing that did affect function was the magazine capacity limit, but that is dumb as well considering the tiny, almost zero, number of shootings that go beyond 10 shots. Even if they did limit the capacity you could easily make your own larger magazines at home, or just change them in less than a second. Also...How did we come up with the arbitrary threshold that makes a magazine "high capacity" anyway?
Why are we fighting over such tiny details that will not make a difference, when we could all agree that we need to harden our schools, and put police in them all? Seems like we are being distracted from the simple solution here.
As far as red flag laws, I will just generally say that in America, we don't let our government take away our Rights without due process, typically a conviction of a crime. One of the things that makes America so great! We've all seen in recent years how power will be abused, and more and more our government being weaponized against political opponents. We do not need to give more power to our federal government, and we do not need to give up more of our Rights.
