When it comes to using brainwashed kids to push for a dictatorial approach on gun control, it's a clear sign that most of the U.S. actually does it the right way. Plus the justice seems to work there, at least not being as slow as it is in Brazil.
Many problems still with our "Justice" system. I call it the legal system, as true justice rarely has anything to do with the law. It's failed me in relatively minor ways before, but I realize it's probably better than most others.

The gun control debate will soon be a moot point; when anyone can print any gun they want for $5.

We'll then be yelling about 3D printer control, which will be a pointless discussion since there is no controlling that technology.

All that said, it's still worth discussing reasonable gun restrictions. It seems to me that people should demonstrate proficient gun handling and pass a written test of best safety practices; similar to how we regulate driving privileges.

I was required to take a 2 day motorcycle training course to be endorsed to ride. It gave me a massive head start on riding skills as well as safe riding practices; practices that I adopted for cage driving, such as looking both ways before crossing through an intersection.
