I’m not advocating taking guns away. I love mine! I’m just providing some solutions I’ve heard. I don’t see the harm in at least trying something; I don’t really believe in the slippery slope argument. Let’s compare how many times we’ve tried to overthrow a tyrannical government versus the number of people who have died because of gun violence.

I urge you to not think of "slippery slope" when it comes to governments becoming tyrannical, it has been 100% historical FACT that ALL GOVERNMENTS become tyrannical.
Its not a 'it could happen' its a, the reason the bill of rights exists is because it ALWAYS HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME.
Now, if you REALLY are concerned about gun deaths,
and 80% of the gun deaths come from black neighborhoods (yay for CDC studies which are clearly allowed!) why are you against racial profiling and increased police presence in those areas? We could save the lives of hundreds of thousands of kids, by arresting thousands of bad kids.
But instead you want to tackle solutions that are
1. unconstitutional.
2. are designed to stop the shooting of white people (1% of shooting deaths in amercia).
3. punish law abiding citizens while leaving gun violence as prolific in neighborhoods of predominantly People of Color the way it is.
When you democrats ask, "why do black people vote republican?" its becuse the laws that your side fights for, makes lives for middle class white people better, but tramples on the rights of people of color.
