That post was directed at tele because hes about to bomb this thread like the maga thread.
Im not advocating a ban on firearms and i never did. I advocate much stricter control and its mainly your last paragraph i disagree the the most with.
If you have stricter control the number of guns will decrease over the years. (The exisiting ones ultimately get worn out/break/straight up get tossed in the lake or lost in the woods for that matter) and if you then restrict the amount going out on the market; of course overall number of guns will decrease over time.
Like i argued in a previous wall of text in this thread: strict control is the only solution. It would probably take decades if not a century or two before it was the 'new' normal but it would work. I mean if were not dead from nuclear winter by then. I understand its a bitter pill to swallow but the reasons given for needing to have liberal gun laws dont hold up in a western country in the 21st century.
