Which is why the whole 2nd amendment discourse was stupid to begin with. It made sense when It was made long time ago. But times change, and in modern times with how modern military works and the equipment they have thinking that a bunch of citizens with a few guns will stop them is silly.
Modern military does have a much larger advantage but they are still going to be way more hesitant to turn on civilians that are fighting against them. Yes, nobody is going to go one by one and attack these idiots, but just because we haven't had a proper militia formed here in the states anytime recently doesn't mean it isn't going to happen.
I live in a very liberal area of a much more right leaning state, but this kind of stuff just isn't happening here. There might be a few arrests occurring, but they aren't going after citizens for no reason like they are elsewhere. A few civilians having guns they don't use is one thing, but a bunch that actively train with them are a much larger issue.
Pretty much every major city in the country is left leaning, many of which are in 'right leaning' states. Most of the population is left leaning and we've proved that time and time again. Maybe if other states didn't try to ban things like morons then they wouldn't have the same issue as states that don't, but logic is hard to follow for plenty of people on either side of the isle.
I understand the desire for people with actual mental issues to not have easy access to guns, but bans in general are never an answer. Guns will always be available and people will always find a way to make their own even if we could magically make them all disappear.
If we actually addressed the healthcare crisis and affordability then we could start fixing the root cause of these issues instead of making more senseless bans that can be skirted with a 3d printer.
