Any candidate that says they will end the epidemic of gun violence is lying. Dem or Rep, they're lying. They can't do anything. Even if they were prone to legislating, the SCOTUS (in its current form) would shoot it down. As albaby in the prior weeks was explaining, legislating it will have minimal effect anyway (e.g. mental health screenings, etc). You would have to go further (which even albaby says he didn't support).

The only way that I can see is to follow the Japan model, or the Aussie model, or the Switzerland model. But all of those would be reversed by SCOTUS, so there isn't really any point. We'll just have to tolerate untold dozens of innocent people getting shot every week until the People demand action from their leaders. Which could happen in a generation or so. 1poorkid's friends mostly hate guns. If that is common in her generation, we just have to wait until they take the reins of power and do something. Our generation will do nothing.
