You literally referenced the end of slavery via the amendment process so yes you were trying to use the 13th Amendment as an example here to say that a constitutional Amendment would be something that could eventually be passed.

While the 13th Amendment did abolish slavery, are you going to honestly tell me it was the result of cultures changing? I'd say 90 years of Jim Crow following the 13th Amendment tell us otherwise. I'd argue the cultures there have still not changed re race. See the birther movement.

Repealing the 2nd amendment is the solution?

But ancient Egyptian society flourished what, 2500 years?

Stop with the low expectations, although we do have our own Nero now

I'm just pointing out that you can push repeal, it's not happening, and if that's what you're pushing then I certainly have no reason to compromise as I don't feel threatened by a political course of action that is DOA.

Trying may be.

I mean the answer to guns in school being proposed is MORE guns in school. Asking nicely won't work when tragedies like this are being used to sell more guns.

I'd go for simple measures like raising the age and comprehensive background checks (but things which disqualify should require due process). Those are pretty much the only things I'm willing to give.

I'm 100% against banning semi-autos or capping magazine sizes.

Raising the age? Look, I understand that there aren't any perfect solutions, but are we really going to tell an 18 year old kid that he can fight and die for America but he can't legally buy a gun?

Haven't heard about that book since an English class my junior year in college. My professor got a laugh after she had me read parts of that.

Honest question:

What are you going to say if some type of sweeping gun reform is passed and the next month, there's a mass shooting?

It's an empty threat right now but this generation is being raised with much more of an impact on their daily lives from guns than we were. They do mass shooting drills while we did tornado drills.

I think exceptions could be made for those with a military ID. Some states have looked into making such exceptions when it comes to alcohol as well

Change it to a year. What do you say then?

Only losers study classics. In fact most schools ditched those majors and are just letting the tenured profs die in their offices. STEM is where its at now, bro.

Fuck that. We did nuclear bomb drills.

So did we up in McHenry Co. You never knew when we'd all be incinerated.

What percentage of 18 year olds currently do you think have been impacted by gun violence? Is that percentage higher or lower than the percent of 18 year olds who were raised using them and would never give them up?

My guess would be the latter is still significantly larger.

Yes, unless you can rid the streets of all guns, which in our 2018 view, seems impossible. Even if we banned all gun sales tomorrow there are hundreds of millions already on the streets. And then a black market would be created, wherein guns would come into our country much like illegal drugs do today.

On the violent streets of Chicago, we know there is gun violence. Most think the answer is more police with guns to deter them. Some even suggest a military presence.

Same for schools--don't make it easy for the killers. At a minimum, limit their ability to do mass killings by returning fire.

It's near 100 percent who are doing AR15 rampage drills. That's going to have an impact.

As for the long term it depends on how much resistance there is to trying to change things to limit them. There will come a time when people get tired of the extreme obstruction of gun law changes.
