If it’s all propaganda and ease of access, and lack of or no training, do not add to the problem, then you must have proof of this right??? Which “more progressive” countries?

The MAJORITY of Americans support stricter gun laws.
You seem to support gun control if the majority votes for it, or am I wrong?

Just as it always has been and sadly, will probably always be.
You are living in a country where a large percentage of your fellow citizens feel wearing a mask during a public health emergency is an infringement on their rights. Many of these same people consider a gun registry and background checks an infringement on their second amendment rights.
As long as a large portion of people remain more concerned about their individual rights than the health and well-being of society as a whole, the problem will never be solved.

I’m sure you believe you were raised right. Would you like a second opinion?

Since governments gain "consent" not thru actual consent but thru coercion, your post is self contradicting. You are advocating for coercion as a systemic means.
The well being of society doesn't improve when coercion is the primary operational means. Your whining argument says it does, which is why you are wrong.
You confuse imposed order with peace. Common mistake of the fearful.

I doubt I raised mine “right” what ever that means. I think I just got extremely lucky with mine lol.

Jim, if a person is otherwise peaceful, owns a gun and then a gang of others come to him and try to use force (they have guns) to disarm him. which party is the aggressor and using guns irresponsibly?

Don’t sell yourself short, but I know what you mean. I got lucky too. I also got lucky with having a great woman and mother agree to marry me.

Impossible to prove or disprove.
As to your next post, this highlights a difficulty. Doctors diagnose “mental issues” but lawyers interpret policy. I don’t think the term is cut and dry.

Maybe the first thing a doctor does is take those actions which will keep him/her licensed and ensure his/her own well being.
That means their allegiance is usually to the state edicts, therefore their diagnosis is often skewed in favor of whoever is paying them to do the diagnosis. "You're paying me and need me to diagnose this person as X ? Sure thing!!
Hospitals being paid more for covid cases is my evidence.
Doctors are held in too high a regard sometimes. Lawyers are scum, mostly and that's the good ones.

You are correct on both points. I have no proposed solution, since my grasp of the psychology of people who kill people with civilian guns is pretty much zero.
What sticks out for me is collateral gun distribution without documentation. Aside from the black market, gifts/bequests and gun show sales should be ended.
As for background checks, I don’t even think about them. My state does thorough checks and imposes a 15-day wait. I’m good with that.
Banning CDC is stupid. That needs undone. How else to get the info I mentioned not knowing above?
My biggest fear or beef is excessive gun control as exists in California being generally imposed. They have a rather small “allowed guns” list, which means many interesting and collectible guns are simply not available except to law enforcement. I’d like law enforcement (civilians) to be identically regulated.
But how to reduce the constant dull roar of piecemeal injuring and killing with guns? I don’t know. I’m wide open to ideas that don’t start with buybacks or other inventory reduction pressures.

Can't control gun flow when everyone has a unregistered firearm Then the police take a hour to respond

The guns I’m thinking of were never registered.

Gun Use Surges in Europe, Where Firearms Are Rare
Gun ownership is rising across Europe, a continent that until recently faced far less gun crime and violence than much of the globe, driven in part by insecurity arising from terrorist attacks.

It’s cool looking. It reminds me of the guns they used in that movie with Clint Eastwood where the crazy Italian cowboy bandit smokes weed. It’s called for a few more dollars. That movie is so bizarre . Most of the movie the actors just stare at each-other and the camera shots just shows their faces for like a minute then goes to the next scene. Then more staring.
