if the United States ban guns like so many people say we should, they'll all just go away right?

Just like illegal drugs and prostitution went away, guns will too if they make them illegal

Almost impossible to ban them unless they figure out how to change the bill of rights

Again we need to focus & fix the why people choose to kill/assanate not the means

@pdockal The USA has pursued a policy of prohibition on drugs since the 1960s. This was ambitious at the time. Now with the development of synthetic opiates it is impossible and futile. Yet if anyone suggested focusing and fixing why peop!e choose to take drugs, I suspect the right wing establishment would condemn this as "woke" nonsense.

Why are guns viewed differently? The reason generally cited for gun violence is "mental illness". Fixing a nation's mental health, although laudable, isa Herculean and endless task. Pragmatic gun regulation on the other hand is realistic and achievable.
