If they cared more about making our society safer, they'd pay teachers more, build more homes, quintuple minimum wage, make education cheaper or free, actually tax the rich, reign in corpos, reform the police, abolish for profit prisons, make healthcare affordable and accessible, remove money from politics, just to start.
But nah, virtue signaling is way easier and is clearly enough to get them re elected, so let's ban 3D printers baby!
Damn it's good to see this list. I've been preaching it for years now. Gun control is virtue signaling bullshit, it will not solve the problem because guns aren't the issue. Our society is deeply troubled and we need to fix the why's, and not the what tool was used.
I'd wager UBI and single payer safety nets alone would have violence over all drop by 50+%

I know one European country with a lot of guns that does not have problems with gun violence. Although gun violence had spiked in last few years due to uhh... external actors. Obviously I'm talking about Ukraine.
Yep, and what do these euro counter parts have? Safety nets and logical shit that helps their people when they're down on their luck. Here in the USA everyone is to busy fighting over the scraps that are thrown our way.
Even rightwingers here demand more: build homes for everyone, tenfold minimum wage, more funding for universal education, more funding for UHC.
