to get guns out of the hands of non military people and non law enforcement people.

The whole licensed-to-carry-a-gun thing needs to go, no hyped up policeman is going to ask if you have a license for that handgun once the barrel swings his way.

In any other country, a civilian with a gun is instantly marked as a bad man with gun, and responded to appropriately.

But is America listening and prepared to do something?

Simply passing laws to stop the sales of guns and ammunition, laws to stop local manufacture and importation, would do it.

Once you get some kid with a military weapon shooting and killing people in the street and getting away with the self defense logic, then gets hailed as some second amendment hero, you have gone one step too far as a country.

America, a first world country? Expensive health care, shoddy education system, dead people bleeding in the streets, close to a million deaths from COVID, the highest in the world - how do you reconcile those facts?

The rest of the world can't.

Yeah DOJ, thanks for describing the problem. Nothing new is revealed in your data collection.
Now come up with a solution!
Or is that one step too far?
