Also fighting white supremacy online is another talking point. As well as the mental health crisis we are seeing rapidly increasing with younger generations. This is a multi prong issue...but when we see historical lows of gun violence since 1993...the narrative of gun control is an absolute failure.
So if we are gonna come out thinking bans on guns or assault rifles, count me out.

You start off strong but finish weak. Sorry Baltimore Skins, I think an assault rifle ban is an unattainable goal. Would it help? Sure. But I am fine settling for solutions that even Republicans could get behind.
I'll settle for improved background checks. The Dayton shooter made a rape list and a kill list in high school. How hard would it be to put a note on his permanent record mentioning that, then have it come up when he tries to buy whatever gun he used for the murders? And it's not just him, a ton of these shooters had previous red flags that were all ignored. We need a better database and a uniform system across the board that would improve background checks.
