Either people stop making them or people stop buying them .
The drivers are capitalism and fear.
Are we ever going to take effective action to keep these weapons out of the hands of mentally insane people.

A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
I'd say it is the rights of others that is important, the "unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" and not having to worry or concerned with getting gunned down by a semi automatic weapon in just going to the shopping center, school, spa, church, grocery story, concert, mall, senior center, parking lot, nightclub, etc

Comparing small arms to nukes is silly. It's why nothing is being done; Democrats want to ban guns and Republicans don't want them to do so. Nobody gives a shit about the mentally ill or the 45,000 suicides in America every year...well, except for the half that use firearms. The Democrats love to use those numbers to puff up their "gun violence" stats.
https://everytownresearch.org/report...-gun-violence/
In the United States overall, suicides account for six out of 10 gun deaths (as compared to four out of 10 in the nation’s cities), resulting in nearly 24,000 deaths per year.3 At a national level, research indicates that gun suicides disproportionately impact white and American Indian and Alaskan Native people, older men, and veterans.4 Gun suicide rates increased across multiple racial groups during the COVID-19 pandemic,5 however, with particularly harmful impacts on young Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC).6 Lockdowns and school closures; lost jobs, housing, and social connections; deaths of loved ones; and pauses in necessary community services all hit BIPOC communities hardest, and introduced a multitude of suicide risk factors in the process—the effects of which are still being felt today.7 Common across them all are the risks posed by gun access, which triples one’s risk of death by suicide.8

[QUOTE=Lionfish;5468852]Poor anchovies,
Not at all, rather prefer the US didn't resemble a Middle East country with every citizen walking around with a semi automatic weapon swung over their shoulder, can see no value in living in John Wayne movie
Democrats don't want to ban guns, regulating guns isn't banning guns, no one is coming to your house to take away your weapons
And the numbers aren't puffed up, close to twenty thousand Americans are murdered as a result of gun violence, forty percent of all gun violence, there is no need to puff up those statistics, they speak for themselves
