Statesian here. There are a CRAPTON of mass shootings here. If we do nothing about guns, the shootings will still happen. What is the leftist answer for reducing mass shootings without disarming the proletariat?

Well.. to add some context to this, if you're in the military you don't walk around every day with a weapon/ammo. You are not allowed to keep personal firearms on your person while one duty or on post without a really REALLY good reason. You are not allowed to store privately owned firearms in your barracks or on post housing (and probably off post housing too but you'd have to piss off all sorts of people to get them to comb through your house looking for stuff to gig you on). So its not that far out there.
The point is that in this hypothetical, you can go and use a gun, along with grenades, rockets, missiles, bombs, jets, tanks, gunships, helicopters, ships, and satellites to kill those your government has declared enemies. All at 18 years old.
But for some reason a civilian can’t own a gun till 25?
Correct, its not that big of a deal to live in a society organized around the organized use of firearms instead of unorganized individual gun ownership.
