I see the writing on the wall even if I don’t like it. Anybody can tell you the temperature today - the value is to tell somebody what it will be tomorrow.

@VikingsGuy We can agree on there being a mental health crisis in general in the country. Guns take an unfortunate blame for a lot of it. Hard to say suicides would be prevented.
Tactical chads lol are a very small portion of the gun owning population. I dont look down on anyone exercising their rights to self defense, being independent, or how the prepare. Maybe you missed the strength in numbers and who participated in the Virginia protest. The participants were largely made up of Sheriff's, law enforcement, military/ex-military, and their constituents (the people) including some tacti-chads. 50,000+ strong, and yes that was showing peaceful strength - a small portion of the American Militia, the minutemen made up of The People, who can be called on to protect the country, separate of the command of our armed forces. The sheriffs of Virginia were willing to deputize each entire county if it meant protecting the citizens from an overzealous tyrannical government. Were the Sheriffs to do that, the well-regulated militia part of the 2A would be put into effect. There has only been one example of a well-regulated militia in US history that I know of, so theres no other context to its meaning to compare.
I gained a huge amount of respect for the citizen elected position of Sheriff after that happened in Virginia. To bring this full circle to the gun control debate - its why the left tried to eliminate the position of sheriff, are against training with firearms, and want to make it impossible to equip, operate, or outright possess firearms if possible. Impossible to consolidate power with a bunch of "tacti-chads" running amok lol.

The sheriffs I have known have been great guys/gals with tough jobs. Count me as a fan.
However, beware of “the sheriff is the answer” narratives. There is no unique/special place in our constitutional republic for them and folks pushing a “sheriff’s trump all” narrative are almost always selling some type of proto-freeman or separatist agenda.

I keep thinking that the idea of a voluntary Federal license might be a way to get some people to accept doing more. Like the TSA precheck with flying. Oklahoma City bombing eventually led to Ammonia Nitrate Act of 2007. That event killed 168 people and we could argue that typical bureaucracy took too long to get a solution in place, but we ended with a better system for that, even with its flaws. I never heard anyone say that "ammonia nitrate got too much blame" for that event.

If we are debating definitions and such, I think the first is what the founders had in mind when they wrote the "arms" in the Constitution. Seems odd to me that Originalists are completely fine with the evolution to the latter.5, 4, 3, 2, 1 . . . Wait for it . . .

That wasn’t legal knowledge - that was “wisdom” derived from 5 yrs of HT 2A squabbles and retorts. .

Nah - founders understood that arms advanced and that tyranny was a thing. It would be nice if they would’ve written a proper English sentence and then we would all know what they meant. The 2A is one of the worst drafted constitutional phrases in all of time.

We could sit here and debate the cause of the rise, a couple giant elephants in the room 1. The use of SSRI like skittles on Halloween. They are super powerful mind altering substances and if you take a look at a ton of the mass shooters, they are all on them! Or at least 90% or so.
2. The lack of fathers or involved parents in the lives of their children. People don’t raise their kids anymore, they don’t discipline them etc, I think a kid having two loving and involved parents trumps will trump any socio-economic standing and helps them not be shit birds… just my take but I agree tactical chads are idiots and are cringy
