There will never be any meaningful gun control in thos country until the elite on this country fear the masses with guns in their hands. Let me head off the idea that I am suggesting or calling for violence. I am not. But truth be told I cannot see how we get any meaningful change until they are scared shitless of the masses and gun control will come quickly and it will be thorough and it will be ugly. Until that time they are happy to keep dumbing down our population. After all, there are only so many boogeymen to get the masses to fear, turn on, and hate.
And until we break that cycle of hating each other instead of hating those that keep is in this cycle it will be the same thing. There has to be an enlightenment that we are being controlled before we can wake up. But its the republicans! No its the democrats! (really it is the republicans) that are keeping us down!!!!
Over and over and over with ever more sophisticated technology to keep is from waking up.

But I get where you are coming from. Maybe cynically, I have no hope for people addicted to privilege, power and money.

In any case the arms industry and NRA will prevent gun control until Democrats have absolute control of the US government.
