(2,993 posts)Much has to change. Semiautomatic rifles that can take high-capacity magazines (e.g. the AR-15) should be banned. So should rifles designed to maximize damage per shot (again like the AR/15 and similar guns). There should be limits on the number of guns one can purchase, and gun shows should not happen. Gun owners should be required to carry insurance. Castle doctrine laws should be repealed.
We also have to get reasonable people into office. My state legislature was about to vote on a constitutional carry bill last week that, among other things, would have made concealed carry permits optional. The vote was cancelled because of the optics of holding it right after the Parkland shooting, but the bill almost certainly would have passed. Its an objectively foolish bill, and we need legislators at every level who understand that.
