    Better laws, not just gun laws. That’s my whole point. The current Supreme Court is leaning towards fewer gun restrictions, not more. We CAN change that, but it will likely take decades of voting for Democrats.

    Until then, we need to get it out of our heads that we can ban guns. The court isn’t going to allow that and every ruling they strike down makes it worse.

    We need to look at OTHER laws we can pass that don’t involve the 2nd Amendment.

    We already have background checks, but what shows up on a background check is flawed, that needs to change.

    We have red flag laws, but there’s no consistent standard for who can invoke them and when and not all states have them, we might want to consider a national red flag law.

    Those are the discussions we need to have, but aren’t having, because people are hung up talking about things the court will never allow.
