I'd be all for gun control if it was paired with free mental health care and massive police defunding and reform. But as is it would just be more reasons for cops to go shoot black people.
Yeah. Even the suggested bare-bones "common sense regulation" and background checks would be used as a cudgel against anyone deemed politically suspect by the state (they're already equating "far left/right authoritarian extremism" with actual mental health conditions). That's if the political apparatus understands there's more to the problem aside from "we need to throw more money to our loyal pigs".
