Dear Americans .... what are your suggestions on appeasing the gun crime in USA?

This is not about the politics because in the paste years you have had both Republican and Democratic leaders that have not managed to tackle the issue.

Here are some stats for you, based on 2022 alone:

In this year there have been 609 mass shootings, from which there have been 637 deaths (around 58 per month) and 2552 people injured.

There has not been a single week without a mass shooting.and in fact only 83 days this year have been free from a amass shooting.

More children have died in a school shooting than police officers on duty.

I find this shocking but the apathy towards change even more so.

Is it time to give up the guns?

I obviously am not American and I have the opinion that "the right to bare arms" has been taken totally out of context,. It makes no sense, it's so ingrained in their society that they can't even explain it

@SW-User unfortunately, the US Supreme Court, SCOTUS,b set the definition of what the right to a militia is. That is "settled law.". That reverse that the left needs to spend at least 15-20 years to pack the judiciary and SCOTUS and that would seem unlikely, but, that is exactly what the religious far right did and got the settled right of every woman to control her health.
