General Discussion

We can march, we can send money to organizations for Gun Control, we can write letters, call, email people of influence, and we can vote for politicians that can try to make legislation. We can help organize and participate in firearm "turn-in for cash" drives and gun safety/risk factors education.
We can sponsor propositions changing or updating current Gun Control laws

But what we can't do is physically force Sheriff Bubba (and Deputies), or the "Good Christians" in the local Supervisors office to do their damn jobs and uphold current gun control laws. We can't legally go in and confiscate some abusive asshole's armory in some sort of "Citizens safety action" and not end up in jail.

I've done what I can per the first paragraph above, as have many DU'ers over the years. But I'm not bullet proof and outrageously independently wealthy, so I can't just go door to door and take on the Lobbiests, Gun Manufacturers as well as the various violence organizations out there. I must depend on the government to be my voice and arm to enforce Gun Control.

It's not just an enforced helplessness, it's the scale of factors to Gun Violence that needs to be addressed as a Community. And unfortunately, our Community needs to be willing to stand with us to actually accomplish something, or we just become individual targets for those selfish morons who think we're out to get their stuff and make them weak.
