Ok whatever.... you mentioned "popular will of the people"/"representative democracy. " If that was truly the case, that last clown elected in 2016 would not have happened. .....
I would *welcome* a widespread review of gun laws in the US. The overwhelming majority of them would be thrown out as ineffectual if nothing else.
The USA is a gun toting culture. Always has been, always will be. So get used to mass shootings. (I'd venture to guess most Americans have at this point) They are not going away. Debating gun laws in the USA is like debating religion. Just like the thoughts and prayers the victims get, it's totally fruitless and useless. Sad but true. I understand the temptation to equate something you disagree with with something else you disagree with, but let me explain how I see it. When they come to take my property. I have a choice afforded me by my constitution. I can hand it over, or I can die defending it behind my AR15. I am practiced, have a lot of ammo and though I will likely die defending my property, I will have had that honorable choice. The current president pointed out that my AR15 is no match against the government's F16s. And that illustrates CLEARLY how close to the brink we are today. An armed and ready populace is much harder to subdue than one that is not armed. Over and over and over we can see clearly in history how it goes when one side holds the guns and the other does not. If they come for me. Some of them will die as well.

Gun laws just got reviewed in the supreme court. Didn't go the way you'd like. Sorry, not sorry. It is sad that it has to be explained. But the gun laws in the USA are there so that if they try in the US what is being tried in other countries across the world it will be much harder to do. The news will most likely not report it, but the shooter in Chicago was an antifa type masquerading as a "Trumper". Why is this happening, you might ask? We are in a war. A new sort of war. Name five ANTIFA members? You can't because it's a BS story fed to you by republicans... With the amount of trump supporters going to jail it's getting harder to pass the blame.

When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. Gun control means using both hands. Good guys with guns do stop bad guys with guns. Maybe not all the time, but enough times to count for something. When seconds count, the police are minutes away. And observing...

My position should be crystal clear. I have no desire to piss off 3/4s of the WO, and this is way off topic. I just get lit up a little when the same weak arguments get posted over and over.

Antifa mugshots from Portland: Those were 25 rioters so what makes them ANTIFA? Also most were disorderly conduct so it's still laughable compared to January 6th. Also Skye Cloud Sodja was arrested at Portland #antifa riot for felony assault. His charges were dropped. He's a mental health worker & previously was employed by @multc Jacob Camello also quickly released Etc. Etc.

And with gun control even more innocent people/kids will get shot and even less bad guys will be shot, because bad guys will allways get their hands on guns, while good guys will obey the law.

Sweden still has not implemented the EU gun directive. Why you ask? Because the government has not proposed a bill that only imlements the bare minimum, they have so far tried three times but with additional restrictions, and that has every time been rejected by the parliament.
The military have also strongly supported the parliaments position on the matter saying that a well armed and well trained population is of great importance for the countries safety in case of a Russian invasion.
The EU is now threathening Sweden with sanctions if we do not implement the directive with haste. The russian invasion of Ukraine and the threath of sanctions will most likely make the government follow the will of the parliament this time. If not, it will be rejected again.
Sweden is a fairly gun liberal country, many swedes hunt or sport shoot, and the crimes commited by legal gun owners is practically zero. Still we have a lot of shootings, all done by immigrants with smuggled in, illegal weapons, some of which could have been prevented if we had legal carry in Sweden, but unfortunately, while it's not that hard to get a gun permit, it's almost impossible to get a carry permit, you can only carry/transport your gun to the place you are going to legally use the gun, ie the hunting grounds, shooting range or a gunsmith/dealer.
So yes there are "sane" countries with liberal gun laws outside the USA.

And also, because of those illegal guns/shootings, some schools in "areas with challenges" as they are now called have "shooting drills" or whatever they are called in English.

I'd agree. But for different reasons, probably. The republicans had continually been served up a dismal variety of swampy establishment candidates so Trump was largely a spoiler vote (Though many seem quite happy with what he was able to achieve despite opposition from his own party and several years of lies and questionable legal procedures against him). Parties have had a terrible effect on this country on both sides. .....
I would *welcome* a widespread review of gun laws in the US. The overwhelming majority of them would be thrown out as ineffectual if nothing else.
The USA is a gun toting culture. Always has been, always will be. So get used to mass shootings. (I'd venture to guess most Americans have at this point) They are not going away. Debating gun laws in the USA is like debating religion. Just like the thoughts and prayers the victims get, it's totally fruitless and useless. Sad but true. Yes, probably. Until we have a proper discussion about the causes of such things and work on a proper way to solve them other than passing another ineffectual and unwanted restriction on gun ownership that only really affects regular, law abiding people, not much is going to change.

Common sense gun laws aren't authoritarian restrictions. Common sense gun laws should be viewed the same as a drivers license or medical license...
Any time I see "Common sense" I can just interpret it as a euphemism for "Laws I want but you don't" and ignore the rest. Be specific.
