Comment on YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead

  I guess a good start would be document gun holders digitally and not on a pile of paper where nobody finds anything and has water damage. Another approach would be not having guns sold in the supermarket. Furthermore, you could ban ads for guns and make it very hard to buy heavy stuff used only in war zone. And lastly restrict who and how weapons are allowed to be transported on man. Of course, one has to have a valid reason to have a weapon on them. Going shopping with a gun out of fear is mot a reason.

  First we have to stop bringing new weapons to people, than we can think about collecting

  I’m Swiss, we have nearly as many private weapons per household as Americans have, but we have way less shootings, all the things above apply here and I think it kinda works.

    TIL they show ads for guns. What exactly do they advertise?

      Well that is one thing I’m not 100% sure, but NRA 100% does political pro gun ads on TV (and most likely precisely targeted in social media) I just assumed there are normal gun ads since, well, it’s America.

      Just skipped through that and it seems most tv networks refuse gun ads, but it seems not illegal by law to show gun ads on tv.

    Nearly all of your suggestions are already part of New York state law.

    Exceptions:

    No registration required for non-“assault weapon” long guns.

    Of course, one has to have a valid reason to have a weapon on them. Going shopping with a gun out of fear is mot a reason.

    Open carry in New York is not legal. Concealed carry requires a license. I believe that requiring a reason to carry for obtaining a license to carry was recently ruled unconstitutional. I don’t know whether you can legally require a reason for the act of carrying the gun.

      It seems like New York goes in the right direction then, nice to see! I bet one sees the difference in the statistics for gun violence compared to other states of America. Umm, is NY a state or a city or both? 😂 not so sure right now

        Umm, is NY a state or a city or both?

        Both.

        I bet one sees the difference in the statistics for gun violence compared to other states of America.

        New York state’s murder rate and firearm murder rate both rank in the second quartile.

  The same way we banned private ownership of nuclear missiles.

    Yeah that was crazy when they had to go around and confiscate all those nuclear missiles from millions of American households.

      God, please don’t give the GOP any ideas, the last thing we need is nuclear proliferation among Trumpers.

  I would copy-paste what already worked in Australia, which used to have similar gun rights: www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0aGGOK4kAM
