@stux Follow the true meaning of the 2nd Amendment, for a start. The raising of arms for a state militia is acceptable. For private citizens? Not part of the constitution. Ban weapons for private citizens.

@stuxThe audience that the Guardian targets in the US are already on board with gun control so they're preaching to the choir

@stux Nothing short of shutting this country down with a #generalstrike and, at the same time, a huge effort at local community building. People in the US have gotten so complacent and passive. No effort is made to hold government accountable, just a lot of complaining at the keyboard. Many of our problems need the same solution, wide-scale, decentralized community organizing. In short, participating and organizing the solutions ourselves and shutting down business-as-usual.

@stux Universal background checks, licensing and insurance, close the gunshow loophole, ban assault style weapons again. It will not stop mass shootings, but, as the example shows in other countries, it will slow it way down.

@stux Gun buyback programs work too. They turn them into manhole covers. (peoplehole covers? (hmm, maybe something else))

@stux the Guardian in the UK? These are well known and highly popular bills in the US congress. The NRA controlled Republican block keeps them from passing. This is not news.

@stux My thought, that I'm not overly wed to, is a chartering system. The 2nd amendment is in reference to keeping a militia. If you're a gun owner, you should be forced to join a state chartered organization. And if that chartered organization begins producing individuals who are responsible for gun crime, you take their charter. Members are free to sign to a different charter if they'll be accepted. It starts putting accountability on states and gun groups.

@stux I believe we should ban assault weapons again and implement behavioral threat assessment programs in schools. https://www.npr.org/2022/05/02/1095489487/trigger-points-mark-follman-how-to-stop-mass-shootings
