Any gun death is a gun death.

Homicides are bad.

Suicides by gun are bad.

My agenda is to reduce these deaths.

Or the legislature should stop trampling on our rights.

Your rights end where my nose begins, and unrestricted gun access impedes the rights of others to live.

The founding fathers built that amendment in a time whith very different technology from today. Nowadays a gun can and frequently does mow down an entire room of innocent people/children.

If you care about the lives of your children you would do something to bring our death rates in line with the low rates of Europe. We have an almost ten times higher firearm death rate than European countries. The solution is not more unfettered gun access.

yet it’s probably the most violated right.

The right to vote would like a word.

Even I will admit this one is a stupid one. Maybe I'm biased because I have a 3D printer and am aware how fucking hard it is to keep in working condition, especially for high temp plastics needed for "3D printed" guns. Instead the legislature should target the ownership and sale of receivers.
