It's is apparent that our leaders cannot solve this issue....for that matter.....they cannot solve any issue. How about this......lets make it mandatory that after any mass shooting.....the full congress (House and Senate) be required to attend a meeting where they will be shown the actual crime scene photos. If this were required.....maybe our representatives and senators would better understand the impact of their future votes or when they take money from the NRA or gun lobby. Seeing a picture of a 2nd grader with his face blown off or a 3rd graders brain splatterd against a classroom wall might make these folks think differently as they vote on issues or are wined and dined by the gun lobbies. Thoughts and prayers.
That's a wonderful idea. Of course they should have a priority list. We can work on death down to rounding off sharp corners and padding hard objects.
We have a full meeting of congress to see videos of any death that involves a crime.
Start with drunk driving deaths. They can just stay there watching death after death non stop until they outlaw cars and intoxicants of any sort (read the warnings on the meds, those would need to go too).
Get resources on ways to prevent drunk driving and alcohol-impaired crashes along with national drunk driving statistics and facts.

Every day, about 32 people in the United States die in drunk-driving crashes — that's one person every 45 minutes.
We could move on to death by hands and feet. That was over 400 in 2020. They could close down all martial arts gyms and require the wearing of giant padded gloves and boots at all times in public. Hands or feet chopped off if violated.
Just keep going down the ridiculous path of herd emotion.
JB, have you ever read books by Larry Niven? I thought Pierson's Puppeteers were fictional.
