I want to expand on my swipe at Bernie Sanders. I actually don't blame conservatives for our gun issue, I blame liberals. If liberals were truly interested in solving this problem the first thing they should do is to aggressively change the tone of the narrative. The conservatives have done such a great job framing this as a second amendment issue that no one at all even questions it at all. I can't remember any liberal coming out and flatly stating that gun control isn't a second amendment issue, it isn't.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Anything short of banning all guns is 100% constitutional so why don't liberals start the process of changing the conversation. Every single time the second amendment is mentioned when it comes to gun control laws that sentence should be typed/read as I'm sure 90% of Americans have no idea what the second amendment even says.
The reason why liberals aren't more aggressive with this is they are afraid of not being electable and the NRA also has influence within the democratic party. Liberal politicians have the ability to change this country but unfortunately running for a national office, as a liberal, all too often comes with a surgery to remove courage and conviction.
