The guns, for all practical purposes, are here to stay. If we could ever get past politicizing the issue, which is highly unlikely given the cowards in congress get way too much milage out of the issue on the never-ending campaign trail, and a media that also loves the horror of it all in their never-ending hyperventilating about it. But if we could get past it then we might focus on the issue at hand which is identifying and preventing the mentally ill from getting the weapons AND getting the treatment they so desperately need. Instead, at least in this particular case, we do just the opposite. The mentally ill transgender actually gets encouraged to sink deeper into their delusion, are given many avenues to pursue the delusion, and we know this typically ends in catastrophe anyway. A truly compassionate nation would get these people the mental Heathcare needed, but the gutless virtue signalers in government and their supporters would rather get the political milage at the expense of the mentally ill person and the others they may take down with them.
It's complicated, would take many people working together for a common good, and some sacrifice politically from all parties involved. Ain't no money or votes in that, so never mind. Let the bodies hit the floor.
