Hey, just ignore the evidence and carry on as you are

This wont end until the firearm factories are forced to give a shit about how many they make and where they end up. This is not about rights or safety for that industry. The do the same thing big oil did in trying to keep lead in gas. The same bullshit the car industry did when Nadar told them their products sucked. The same lobbying big tobacco did to hide the dangers of it's products.
The worst thing the GOP did was pass a federal law making it virtually impossible to sue the makers.

That is what is truly scary about our conservatives. They can have Reagan shot, and their own GOP congressmen shot at a baseball game, and their solution is to keep protecting the profits of corporations instead of putting public safety first.

You've been proffered solutions (potential ones, at least) multiple times, and you dismiss them for reasons that have been refuted multiple times.

Yes I have offered them up every damned thread about this topic. I do get tired of responding to OLB, he's not interested in solutions.

No. You really have not.
You have said "they need to quit handing out guns like candy" - or words very close to that....
You might as well say " everybody be nice!".
You have completely failed to put forth any plan of action to bring about this restriction -- and you claim you don't want to take anyone's guns.
Currently ALL NEW GUNS purchased require a background check via NICS. There are NO exceptions to this.
So how are you going to limit the number of new guns being sold?
