There are some gun control laws which we could certainly benefit from. But basically just better enforcement of the laws we have and stronger penalties for breaking them would help as a beginner.
And no, it takes 3/4 of the states to ratify a amendment to the Constitution. Not likely.
A terrorist attack like the one in Paris isnt happening frequently. "Thoughts and prayers" related to gun violence in the US is becoming a meme cus nobody is doing anything but praying and the shootings keep on happening. Minutes after the attack happened in Paris they went on a rampage scouring the entirety of Europe for any people with a connection to the shooters.
Everyone at work just north of this is just like...oh again? Like the reaction to these shootings is just so meh whatever nowadays.
Nope. You lack a understanding of our Constitutional process to amend it. And it is not done by popular vote. Think of it somewhat like how we elect a President. Only even more requirements. After a 2/3 Congressional call for a amendment, 3/4 of the States have to ratify it. The representatives of each State must vote for it. Of those who do, for a amendment to pass, 3/4 of the states must approve it.
You realize the difference is that countries/cities are actually trying to stop terrorism attacks right? 'Paris Strong' isn't about 'sigh, oh well there was another one' but about remaining defiant in the face of attacks.
Terrorist attacks are not met with weary resignation like yet another mass shooting in the US is.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
Yea but catching the gunman isn't gonna solve anything. Sadly there's no secret society of school shooters so you can catch them before they strike. But there are other ways of preventing it, but nothing will happen as long as the gun lobby run things. I'm not french, i just latched onto your comparison.
Oh, it's Thursday again!
Holy shit. Feels like there are shootings every month now...
