There was a window between reconstruction and World War II where we could've regulated guns in the United States effectively if we had chosen to.
It would've taken a constitutional amendment which was plausible to pull off especially post reconstruction.
Now any way we attempted to do so would be completely futile.
- first off It would take a constitutional amendment, there are already way too many Supreme Court precedence that make any realistic changing laws almost impossible to hold.
- Additionally already existing inventory of firearms in the United States is astonishingly insurmountable. There are so many that would be available to criminals that if we stopped manufacturing them for even 100 years the supply would remain.
- where the increasing technology in 3-D printing in molding, it will soon be even more futile.
Now if we were already in a climate of regulation that might not matter as much however the gun culture is so deep rooted it would take multiple generations to get past such, and the 3-D technology will be caught up way before that can be achieved to where the supply would just increase.
The argument for gun control and reason behind it is well-founded. You could even argue that the main reasons for guns, self defense and prevention of tyranny, is way overrated compared to the negative's caused by them in today's society.
I might disagree but I could respect that argument.
There was a window for the argument and we missed it.
every discussion, even including modifications, capacity, firing mechanism's, etc, is futile at this point. All the arguments for such are completely based on emotion and are indefensible with facts and logic considering today's reality.
I can understand why it's hard for many Europeans to grasp this because they don't have day by day visible reality to the over abundance of inventory and the deep rooting culture that will surpass any regulation.
The only option we really have is profiling and identifying
/ monitoring people who may do this…. Which it and of itself is a debatable violation of freedom, however plausible to do if we choose
