How about we treat every young man who wants to buy a gun like every woman who wants to get an abortion - mandatory 48-hr waiting period, parental permission, a note from his doctor proving he understands what he's about to do, a video he has to watch about the effects of gun violence, and an ultrasound wand up the ass (just because). Let's close down all but one gun shop in every state and make him travel hundreds of miles, take time off work, and stay overnight in a strange town to get a gun. Make him walk through a gauntlet of people holding photos of loved ones who were shot to death, people who call him a murderer and beg him not to buy a gun.

It makes more sense to do this with young men and guns than with women and health care, right? I mean, no woman getting an abortion has killed a room full of people in seconds, right?
@LordShadowfire One kid with an AR15 can kill everyone at the Movie and then take on the first responders. The Republicans answer to this is give everyone at the theatre a gun so everyone can get off a few rounds.

@LordShadowfire Sounds damn good to me. Especially this bit:

"an ultrasound wand up the ass (just because)"😂😂😂

But can I add one more suggestion.

Tax ammo to the point that it's more expensive to buy than a university degree. Pretty much all guns in circulation will become little more than rather obscene wall ornaments within days.
