I feel like people that argument gun control laws are dumming it down to "if it doesn't work instantly then it's not worth it". If they start thinking about gun control as an investment in the long term in reduction of gun violence/mass shootings/suicides, there is no reason argue against it.

- likeclockwork 9y agoThe problem with the laws proposed is that they do nothing about the 300 million firearms that are already out there. We're simply supposed to trust the of all of those firearms as though new purchasers are the main threat. How is it moral to deny a person access to firearms while they have to live among others who are heavily armed? You'd be creating a privileged class of firearms owners and hereditary firearms dynasties. Personally, I cannot support any gun control law that does not include outlawing and confiscating existing firearms.
