Oh, I absolutely get it, what folks outside the US don’t get is the 2nd amendment isn’t going anywhere.
To repeal it, you first have to get 290 votes in the House, which is largely insurmountable. It took George Santos to get that many Congressmen to agree on something.
Then you need 67 votes in the Senate, the body that can’t get past 60 to disable a filibuster.
Assuming, miracle of miracles, that happens, then you need ratification by 38 states.
Biden only won 25, and of those only 19 have Democratic statehouses. You’d need 19 red states to be on board with giving up guns, assuming you didn’t lose any blue states.
"The shooting was linked to drug activity at 3005 Buckhead Apartments, they said.
“This wasn’t like a home invasion type of scenario. We believe that the perpetrators were invited in for that drug exchange. It was some type of drug transaction that was taking place inside the apartment,” Maj. Peter Malecki told WANF."
Jesus christ… Let’s compare to other developed nations, wanna do per capita or total?
Other countries don’t have a 2nd Amendment. Not the same thing.
You’re so close to getting it.

So, yeah, Good Luck!
My advice to the kids in tomorrow’s mass shooting I guess 🤷
They should at least understand the barriers and work towards a solution that isn’t “well, ban guns.” Because that won’t happen.
