We are shouting from the outside.
Shout loud and long enough, though, and we can prevail. We can civilize our gun laws.
One month ago, this editorial page launched a campaign called 31 bullets to promote 31 ways to curb gun violence in our nation, and with each proposed action we did our best to include a simple way that you, personally, could make it happen.
We presented our 31st and last bullet a call for federal design safety standards for American-made guns on Tuesday.
EDITORIAL
We have called the campaign, which we are conducting in partnership with the communications firm of Ogilvy & Mather, 31 bullets because that is the average number of bullets manufactured in this country each year for every man, woman and child. But we easily could have listed 41 ways to make our nation safer from guns, or 51 or 61.

Why don't you start with Chicago and see how that works!

Shouting is the sign of hate and ignorance. You can shout all you want but you will NEVER take away of Constitutional Rights!
It is not an assault on the Second Amendment to call for an age restriction of 21 for anybody who wants to buy a military-style weapon of mass death, such as an AR-15 rifle
The second you use the term style you have no valid argument!
If you went with actual military weapons then maybe, just maybe people would listen. But you can’t because military weapons except in extremely rare cases are already not allowed to civilians. The AR 15 is just a rifle. It is not a military weapon.
I was paddled (”the Board of Education”) twice in high school in the early 1960’s.
Fell asleep in Algebra in 10th grade - teacher was the basketball coach.
Forgot to get a test paper signed by my Mom in 1964 - teacher was the football line coach.
BTW, anyone acting the least bit disrespectful in little old Mrs. Jones English class was sent done the hall to “see Coach Thornton”.
Just 31?
Folks need to spend more time at the range.
I only have 21 bullets. Some of you are going to have to share.
I remember when liberals had their panties in a wad over the ownership of 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles. The demand a ban on the import of them and small foreign made handguns. They got it. Did crime cease? No. So they aimed at other gun to ban.
Interesting that a military rifle import was banned but a “Police Rifle” off the same assembly line was A-OK!
There is something about the term “Military” that liberals have hated since the 1960s.
31 bullets? 31 ROUNDS is my EDC for my GLOCK 26.
