This is one of those jokerfying things for me. Any sane and functioning society would have addressed this problem 15 years ago and continued refining a comprehensive solution until the school shootings stopped. But instead, politicians and pundits run out with idiotic distractions because it's a fundraising thing for them. They raise money off the controversy and some of them get money from gun lobbies, and they want you to feel unsafe and terrorized so that buying more guns because the police will not protect you (they won't). Democrats occasionally propose that gun owners should have to buy gun insurance because they get money from insurance lobbies which is almost dumber than this door bullshit. People silo into camps and nothing gets solved, ever.
It's like if you went to the doctor complaining that your leg hurts and the doctor immediately started suggesting that you can have some opiates, or a cast, or a splint, or a brace, or chemotherapy. Is it leg cancer or is it broken or sprained or just sore?
The patient doesn't know. That's why the patient went to the doctor. The patient went to the doctor to complain about a situation that is unacceptable. The doctor should listen and gather the complaints. The doctor should develop a plan to investigate the problem. The doctor may defer to a specialist. They will develop a diagnosis and then develop a treatment plan.
If you could trust representatives, their skill set is supposedly "legislation". They would hear our grievances and develop a plan to investigate, which may involve talking to many types of experts. They would develop a comprehensive solution and express it as legislation. They would not start by proposing solutions to the public. The public is, on average, not an expert on any topic, so the first step is to identify people who do have some relevant knowledge and find out what they think.
They've already fucked this one so expect the school shootings to continue.
