You got to understand: the gun lobby is strong, especially at the local level. The amount of money to elect someone locally is pennies compared to nationally.
Not only that but often these "solutions" like metal detectors have lobbies of their own.
Gun control doesn't make the line go up.
The only way we'll get gun control is if Luigi's start making a more common occurrence.
I'm not sure it's logistically feasible even if they really wanted to at this point.
This video is less than 10 mins, and uses pretty rounded off numbers, but it's very illustrative of the magnitude of guns in america. Even going beyond any other problems that enforcement would have like non compliant sheriffs and organized resistance.
Dems never have the balls to wield their power effectively. They could have a supermajority in both houses and still wouldn't even be able to create an honorary holiday like notional french fry day or some other meaningless gesture.
That'll be great fun when it starts spitting out false positives and the coppers get called out several times a day because someone was carrying their pencil case in their hands rather than in their bags. The only reasonable solution there will obviously be to ban pencil cases.
Maybe! Given how the incumbent party views education I can see that. At the same time, for-profit schools is a thing too and we can't lose that profit! Think of all the poor profiteers. :(((
If people didn't want their children to be brutally murdered in gun violence they should just breed bullet resistant children. The system is working fine, this is clearly a problem with parents.
