I’m not saying it’s too big of a problem, I’m asking what kind of idea you have. Because I would entertain any idea that doesn’t result in the biggest string of police brutality incidents ever recorded in history, or is as effective on preventing cancer as a cigarrete filter.

Tell me your brilliant plan about how to get rid of 400 million weapons and I’ll listen to it, because the people who need to give up their guns won’t sell them on buybacks.
Well, there’s 400 million guns in all of the US and about 1/3rd of all households on the US have a gun on them. Keeping kids ignorant about guns when 1/3rd of them have one at their homes (not owned by them, mind you) is a recipe for accidents.
The “fetish for firearms” comes from not treating firearms like tools, and that’s something actual good teachers would do a lot better than ammosexual parents.
I’m of the opinion that teaching stuff has to be hands-on, especially with the bad attention span of children nowadays. I don’t learn very much from theory, and I think a lot of neurodivergent kids don’t do it, either.
I’m just saying that, in a country where there’s more guns than people, keeping children ignorant of the realities of handling a gun safely is a liability.
Brother, it’s already normalized. Acting like keeping kids ignorant will stop gun violence is a fairytale dream. Literally every person who takes a gun class gets drilled through all of it to NEVER point it at anyone. It’s not just about learning how to use them, it’s about how to be safe with them. Do you also think teaching a kid defensive driving before they can drive is useless?
Every single mass shooter was a radicalized right wing white supremacist.
Kids used to learn gun safety classes and even bring their guns to school for target practice later.
Sheltering kids from guns in a country with more guns than people is not a good decision.
There is no benefit on not teaching kids to respect guns as dangerous devices.
What’s wrong with teaching kids how to use guns early? It’s better than them playing with guns they find in the shelf and end up shooting themselves or their siblings.
The problem is always the same: white supremacy.

In the Bible Jesus straight up whips people using the Lord as an excuse to be greedy or violent.
We should replicate this in the modern day.
Your solutions all make sure that the only people that can afford to have guns are rich enough that they wouldn’t need guns anyway. Smart guns? We don’t even have cars that can drive themselves properly without violating a hundred traffic laws. Be more realistic.
Also your idea of suing manufacturers is also flawed. Nobody puts the responsibility of drunk drivers running people over on their F-150 on Ford. This just shows me you don’t actually know what you’re talking about.
