We have a brand-new public health crisis -- gun violence. Now that the last pandemic is dying out, President Asterisk has decreed that people shooting each other is our next pandemic. It turns out murder is not a morality problem, it’s a health problem. It’s no wonder we haven’t dealt with this crisis effectively -- we didn’t really understand it. It seems to me that our political rulers just need to have another dance with their new-found emergency powers. Perhaps Dr. Two-Mask Fauci can lead us out of this crisis. He can use science to address gun violence with the same effectiveness that he flattened the COVID curve -- or was it the GDP curve -- I forget.
The first contributor to this pandemic is “ghost guns.” These are guns that have been assembled from kits, have no serial number, and are thus much more lethal than guns with numbers. They’re used by hobbyists and lawbreakers. We probably don’t need to worry about the hobbyists. They’re the folks that build their own guns because they want to hit the head of a nail from 100 yards away. They’re not planning their next heist. They’re too busy trying to tighten their grouping by ¼ inch at the range.
That brings us to the lawbreakers. They build (or buy from illegal sources) ghost guns because they can’t legally buy guns. It’s already illegal for lawbreakers to carry guns, but I’m sure if we make it more illegal the lawbreakers will stop breaking the law. So, here’s what we’ve come to: Everyone (lawbreakers included) are required to wear masks, but their firearms better be clearly identifiable. What’s more dangerous, an untraceable gun, or an untraceable criminal?

There are many states that don’t require a background check for person to person sales in the same state. What difference does a serial number mean there?
Just make murder and armed robbery illegal.
Problem solved.
Can I get a ...jab for that?
Almost said “shot”.
I’d bet money that less killing have been done by Ghost guns than the fingers on my left hand and I’m missing a finger.
Very few people have the skills and equipt to manufacture a weapon.
Flatten the murderers. Tony s/b flatlined too.
Notice how the media, big tech, politicians and corporations simply spew their lies on concerted efforts and the lie is now perceived reality. How people believe this bs is beyond me....we have been taken over by a lying disingenuous enemy. Be more vocal than them...know the facts and don’t back down. We have been silent for too long.
I guess ghost bullets from ghost guns just pass right through your body.
Kind of bold to assume gangbangers aren’t trying to tighten their 100 yard groups.
~5% of the people commit 50% of the murders in this country. There’s your violence, not the guns.
“It’s Time to Flatten the Gun Violence Curve”
How about imposing a 20 year sentence of hard labor for a gun crime...oh no, the lawyers have been able to ban hard labor for prisoners.
If mandatory mask work for the COVID-19 pandemic, then maybe we should have mandatory bullet proof vests for everyone to protect them from the gun pandemic.
Ghost Guns must have been a problem ever since the British hanged some gunsmiths during the Regulator war. 1766-1771.
Until we make the nuclear family with an involved father our national campaign, we’re not serious about solutions.
eliminate unconstitutional infringements (laws, regulations, permits, etc.) and agents that “enforce” them
then,
restore shooting sports and safety training to high schools
and for those who like “free things from govt” (and for those who do NOT, but are willing to maybe make this one little exception in the name of our Republic?).... give out vouchers for the acquistion of a good quality firearm of each citizen’s choice, those who want them for personal or home or family defense)
