Americans have now suffered 40 mass shootings in the first 24 days of 2023. More than 2800 total gun deaths—including 122 children. And yet GOP wants MORE guns & reject any regulation.
Honestly how corrupt & conscientiously ignorant must one be to ignore "well regulated" & only read "shall not be infringed" in your 2A interpretation?
Imagine if we read the 1A like that? "We would pass this bill but the 1A clearly says 'Congress shall make no law' so too bad!" It's absurd.
Pass Gun Reform NOW.
I have questions.
What SPECIFIC "gun reform" do you think you want?
What SPECIFIC "gun reform" do you think you're going to get past SCOTUS?
Especially *this* SCOTUS?
What specific outcome do you imagine getting - even if you got whatever exact law you think you want?
Why do you imagine you’re going to get that outcome?
Because prior attempts to “reduce harms” by banning things in the US have universally resulted in objectively greater harms (e.g. war on drugs)...

Wrong. When we had an assault weapons ban in this country, gun death rates dropped. When it expired and gun nuts refused to reinstate it, gun deaths have skyrocketed and continued an upward trend ever since. So let’s start there.
America has no monopoly on mental illness and angry people, but we are alone in the civilized world when it comes to the absurd number of gun deaths, particularly from suicide and mass shootings.
The AWB didn't ban weapons with capability; it banned weapons with a certain "style" or appearance.
Scary appearance doesn't kill people. It just frightens ignorant ones.
More weapons with the same capability were manufactured and sold DURING the ban than prior.
This alone falsifies the widely held falsity you are fielding.

What is it that "worked"?
What constitutes "worked"?
What would constitute "not working"?
What were the parameters and constraints?
