    "Nothing can be done about it"

    1. Start by not selling ammo to those weapons.

    2. Create a "weapon refund policy" where turning in a weapon gives you a certain amount of money back. The weapon is then disposed of.

    3. Ban selling new weapons of that type to regular people.

    Sure it will take a long time to correct things, but its pretty simple steps.

    • Nothing wrong with these steps. It just feels like this is phase 2 after regulating the sale of existing sales (ID, vouchers, etc)monospaced
    • That much is obvious - buy backs are how Aus and NZ dealt with it when their time came. The problem in the How is clearly cultural, not practical.Nairn
    • There have been localized buy backs and drop offs for weapons and it has been very successful. Many cities have totally outlawed weapons. It is possible.monospaced
    • Easiest problem to solve ever.nb
    • A few people in this country think that banning these guns is unfair and a greater punishment than a parent losing their child forever. FUCK YOUnb
    • A more radical step would be make the weapon manufacturer financially responsible every time one of their weapons were used in a mass shooting.Nutter
    • Nearly every American supports background checks and limits on assault rifles. The govt allows children to be murdered in exchange for senate seatsnb
    • Since capital seems to be everything, that would change the supply of those weapons.Nutter
    • You’re not wrong about that.monospaced
    • Outlaw lobbying by gun groups/manufacturers would end a lot, too, and most would support that.formed
    • But what person would support Citizens United? The Supreme Court needs to die.formed
    • @formed, so far, no republican leadership has, despite a hundred children deadmonospaced
    • 3d printed weapons are just around the cornerdrgs
    • I’d love it if everyone had to 3D print and build their own damn guns.monospaced
