She was qualified? Or she was a Project 2025 stooge?

Thanks for the info. I know we’re in a league of our own, but the numbers are interesting and sobering.

Maybe we should consider going in the opposite direction? Require gun safety and firearms training in elementary, middle, and high school; implement first time gun buyer programs for qualifying low income Americans; ban all concealed carry permits; allow firearms in your carry-on at the airport.

I’m being facetious, but California’s Mulford Act shows Republicans can pass gun control laws if they’re terrified that their outgroups are also armed. Though I’m sure a similar law today would be entirely partisan and only apply to their opposition or something. As a sidenote, I do think everyone should have at least a basic education in gun safety.

Maybe implement a voluntary gun buyback program and tighten up gun laws like Australia? Might not have prevented this case, but it’s better than the old “we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas” approach.
