Cat's out of the bag on this one. You will never get all the guns back, not without running a very real risk of instigating civil war. Ms. Jackson Lee thinks the real cause of the problem is "guns, guns, guns" - I say it's criminals, criminals, criminals. Why's Texas have so many criminals willing to use firearms for evil?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The good news is that guns are made of metal and metal rusts. So outlaw the military weapons and replacement parts and wait.
Clearly, the technology for making things out of ...ferrous metals...is beyond the ken of ...Americans.
More and more it seems the country is too corrupt to fix this problem. When will Americans realize they are not living in a democracy?
I can't put my finger on it precisely, but it feels like there are outside influences radicalizing people via social media with an ultimate goal of destabilizing the United States.
No foreign influence required.

You don't need a conspiracy theory to explain why there's a murder problem in a country with a boatload of guns, lax restrictions on violent media, and a culture where infringing on someone's right to do anything can be interpreted as "totalitarian". No foreign influence required.
The best kind of misinformation is misinformation that is true but not representative of the real situation. Have you checked our heart disease deaths? It is *factually* an issue many orders of magnitude more important to the average American. And yet…zero discussion seems to happen about it online?
And why wouldn’t there be foreign influence? It’s quite an easy checklist:
* do Russia and China have the technical capability to make social media accounts and post in English?: Yes, obviously.
* do Russia and China have any motive to drive fearful divisive narratives in the US?: Yes - we are their primary geopolitical opponent
With both of these true, to assume they’re not doing it for some reason out of kindness requires a lot of mental gymnastics.
