I don't think that would work as long as we have open borders. It would just be another business opportunity for illegal smuggling across the southern border.

Sorry but actually I think you will find the opposite is true. Guns are smuggled from the US to Mexico. Here in Houston, TX which is 350 miles from the Mexican Border, there have been several big stories on this. One of the key sources of guns in some of those stories is a store about 2 miles from me. A quick google search for "us mexico gun smuggling" returns top results like
  • estimates are more than 200,000 firearms every year trafficked from the U.S. to Mexico
  • Between 70 to 90 percent of guns recovered at crime scenes in Mexico can be traced back to the U.S

Interesting story in the WSJ

Schools Face Increase in Gun Confiscations, Shootings and Hoaxes
https://www.wsj.com/articles/schools-face-increase-in-gun-confiscations-shootings-and-hoaxes-11665057602

I suspect this is probably one of the extreme examples
In Rock Hill, S.C., authorities recently recovered guns at three schools on three consecutive days, including at a middle school where police say a 14-year-old boy pulled a handgun on a fellow student. According to police, the 14-year-old student was involved in a fist fight in a school bathroom when a gun fell out of his pants. The youth picked up the gun and pointed it at a student, sending his classmates fleeing, police said.
and
Far more guns have turned up in U.S. schools during the first two months of this school year compared with recent years, according to the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive, which tracks news accounts and police reports. The archive documented more than 220 gun seizures in August and September across 35 states, up from 128 in the same period last year and 132 in 2019. Many schools were remote in fall 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
and while less dangerous, this is a concerning trend.
As real incidents have gone up, so have fake ones. Schools nationwide are contending with a rash of so-called swatting, or hoax 911 calls about bogus active shooters, said the National Association of School Resource Officers. Since Sept. 9, the nonprofit group said, it has tracked reports of swatting incidents in at least 17 states and the District of Columbia.

What good will more legislation do? The only people who abide by laws are...law abiding people. People who are bent on committing crime don't care about laws. High velocity lead is a much more effective deterrent to someone trying to kill you than any law.

Everyone talks about mass shootings but no one talks about the much more prevalent violent crime in America, which is inner city, black-on-black crime, usually the result of drug deals or gang affiliation.

In order to stop crazy people before they go on a rampage, what would be the standard and who decides it? Are we going to go back to involuntary commitment? More importantly though, how do you find them before it happens? Are people ready to erode not only gun rights but also privacy rights and due process? Lots of slippery slopes here.

Gun control is but a feel-good, Band-Aid solution to a much more complex issue.

Hahahaha

You just proved the point the last post made!

I like things like statistics and science.

...AND I thank god everday I live where I do, where i don't have to carry a gun BECAUSE NEITHER DOES MY CRAZY NEIGHBOR.

I will leave it at that.

As population increases so will gun deaths and all deaths for that matter.
Boomers are dying now faster then ever

The gov. Shutdown of small business created massive increases in crime and violence
Many will never recover

Not mass shooting related, but definitely school shooting related. Sorry if its behind the paywall.

WSJ :- Elementary School Teacher Shot by 6-Year Old in Virginia, Police Say
https://www.wsj.com/articles/elementary-school-teacher-shot-by-6-year-old-in-virginia-police-say-11673047864

A teacher was shot by a 6-year-old boy in an altercation at an elementary school in Newport News, Va., Friday, according to police.

“The student is in custody,” the Newport News Police Department said in a statement.

The victim, identified as a female teacher at Richneck Elementary School, was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, according to police and the school district.

No other injuries were reported at the school, which is around 25 miles north of Norfolk.

“We did not have a situation where someone was going around the school shooting,” Police Chief Steve Drew said at a press briefing Friday.

The shooting occurred in a classroom with only one gunshot fired, Chief Drew said. He described the incident, which took place around 2 p.m., as an altercation between a student and teacher.

As long as there is such easy access to guns either for 6 year old or a 50 year old and as long as mass shootings are amplified in the media, we will continue to have this tragedy of gun violence. I lost someone very close to me with a man coming to the door with a firearm in the middle of the day asking for work. It gives one person too much immediate and total power over another human being.
