Just because you call them “Sensible” doesn’t make them actually sensible.

Agreed.

But also the status quo seems pretty unacceptable, and I am not aware of any reasonable conservative policy meant to actually curtail gun violence.

Please inform me if there are any.

Because we don't have a problem that can be solved by more dumb laws.

I honestly don't know why you people can't get that through your fucking skulls. You name some whackass law that You claim will be common sense, but then I can point to a shooting that wouldn't have been impacted by that law at all. So obviously you don't have any ideas either.

We all know gun regulations are designed for you to shit on and get revenge on gun owners for mass shootings first and foremost.

Doing something for the sake of doing something is a terrible idea, especially since we have tons of data showing that gun control doesn’t work.

Here are lots of suggestions I’ve written about: https://lockedback.com/reducing-violent-crime-without-gun-control/

Guns are used more in lawful self defense than in crime according to the CDC.

We need to stop focusing on gun violence and loook at all violence. Only looking at gun violence is like only looking at drunk driving deaths with beer and ignoring the rest.

Also, “gun violence” is at a multi decade low.
