The American mass shooting thread

So what are the Biden government doing about all this?
Haven't checked but I'm pretty sure the answer is either:

1) Nothing, because there is no difference between Democrats and Republicans

or

2) Tons, because it's a useful alternative to addressing structural inequalities which will help no-one
 
Apart from the republicans there is the all powerful NRA to consider not to mention the second amendment of rights.

The NRA isn't as powerful as it once was, but the gun industry is more powerful than ever, and it has many kinds of tendrils in the media - favourable YouTubers, TV, radio, politically aligned publications etc.
 
Hard to imagine any constitutional amendment on guns being passed in any of our lifetimes - it'd take a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress plus ratification by 38 out of 50 states.

Out of the 27 amendments, only one was passed in the last 50 years - the 27th amendment, which bans members of Congress from making laws that would raise their salaries during the current session of Congress, was ratified in 1992. It took 203 years to ratify it, which would probably be an optimistic timeline for anything changing the 2nd amendment.

The alternative would be to stack the supreme court.

For some reason Facebook keeps showing me clips with some guy going fishing being hassled by cops.
Turns out his fishing gear includes tactical body armour and an Ar15.

Apparently he's part of a group that likes to bring heavy weaponry to fishing spots and file lawsuits if they are challenged by the police - I hope he accidentally shoots himself in the dick and falls over into a pile of fish hooks.
