    99% of our gun issues are due to intractable poverty and inequality. 50 years ago we didn’t have these issues because Corporations were not so overbalanced. There were perks to many jobs because taxes were very high on profits.

    Fix the extreme poverty, housing, and take-home pay and most of these social issue will disappear. The rich and powerful ( Corpos and people) want people to give up rights because their problem is about control more than money.

    Giving up rights won’t change any suicides because there is no more hope in the US anymore.

      This is where I’m coming from. Guns were a non-issue when I was young. I understand it’s impossible for young folks to experience the past, but it wasn’t like this. At all.
