LiberalGunNut™ here! Not too many ideas out there for laws that actually make a difference and will stand up to 2A challenges, but I got one.
Drop the fucking hammer on anyone who allows a non-authorized person access to their weapon(s). No idea how this actually looks as a law, but I'm sure you get my drift.
I've heard arguments pro and con regarding safe storage. For example; I'm not one to legislatively tax poor people for exercising a right. But lockboxes are plenty cheap enough. If you want to step up from a cheap lock-box, $80 and an hour of work, and you got a Harbor Freight wall safe installed. (They're great BTW!)
And such a law doesn't need to specify containment! "Anyone gets hold of your gun, concrete and steel box for you." Bet people would pay fucking attention!

Reducing the disparity in wealth has a direct impact on the amount of people who want to lash out at society by killing indiscriminately.
Give people reasons to live so they don't make up reasons to kill.
My dude I don’t think the six year old that shot her was economically anxious
The parents were though
Is this true?
