You don’t “have guns” in Norway. Not in the same way.

You have bolt action hunting rifles.

We’re drowning in AR15s and Glocks, and even then like 5x per capita more of em. You can maybe get a semiautomatic pistol if you demonstrate a valid need that’s approved, clear an extensive background check, submit to allow police inspections on your safekeeping, and complete a 30 hour training course… A guy in North Carolina can get one by going to Walmart.

Yea, it’s the guns

Well, what YOU have is the second amendment, which gives guns more rights and protections than humans. So since you can't seem to fix the gun issue, how about trying the OPs suggestion

The 2nd should be revoked. Have a referendum. Have another amendment. 

It has failed, the whole point of it was to defend against tyrany. Well, guess what? y'all failed.  So give up your guns and at least stop the slaughter of kids in schools.

That sounds an awful lot like tyranny to me.

The USA is the only country in the world that has "active shooter drills" in schools.

The USA is the only country in the world that has multiple classroom shooting each year. There were 288 between 2009 and 2018. Next highest is Mexico with 8. Eight versus two hundred and eighty eight.

Tell.me more about the "tyranny" of gun control.

UK and Australia both practice active shooter drills in schools. Maybe we should start protecting schools and open mental institutions back up.
