re: #58 freetoken

I’ve sort of given up on any relatively quick solution.

In the long term, if we can:

(1) reduce the production of guns (perhaps by requiring manufacturers to pay taxes for prevention programs, etc.);
(2) reduce the transfer of guns (by requiring background checks for every transfer);
(3) require owners to be insured and licensed;

then perhaps over time the violent use of guns will diminish.

The last one, by requiring licensing, we can also address the “mental health” issue.

Given that the Constitution is now viewed as an Holy document, breathed without error by God, it has become impossible to change, no matter how outdated or wrong (in the real world) it is.

The thing about licensing and liability insurance is that it’s perfectly in keeping with the “well-regulated” part of the Second Amendment that most people pay no attention to.
