@Meno I don’t think it’s impossible, just very difficult and it would take a long time. One thing that needs to happen is restrictions on the sale and manufacture of firearms. If there are less guns available in stores, people will own less guns and there will be less guns in circulation and there will be less gun crimes. Right now the approach (which has been heavily based on scripts written by the NRA) for most gun-nuts is “Well, US culture is so messed up, we can’t ban guns because then we won’t be able to defend ourselves from the guns that criminals have because we didn’t ban guns”. Which is all types of messed up.
I mean, the frum velt has been fighting tooth and nail against the inevitable encroachment of toeva stuff into every day life. Should we just give up on it because it’s impossible to change at this point?
