Remember how teenaged Dame Anderson ended up spending eighteen years in prison because he had an unlicensed, semiautomatic hangun and held it on Creed's assailant (without even firing it)?
That's what gun regulation policy looks like on the ground.
People act like passing gun-bans would be some innocent, sanitized, consequence-free thing that could miraculously solve our school shooting problems with no negative repercussions.
Not so.
Even setting aside our legitimate needs to own guns for self-defense purposes.
Guns won't magically leave the streets. Passing a law won't make them dissappear overnight. All that stuff requires the implementation of strict law enforcement that'll see people killed at worst or locked away for half their lives at best.
This doesn't mean there's nothing we can do about school shootings.
Increased waiting periods
Background checks
Allowing for greater training and access to defensive tools and resources for our educators.
But when it comes to regulation, you simply have to be honest about the consequences. Especially as they pertain to the most vulnerable among us.
At the end of Creed III when Adonis told Dame, "it's not your fault" he was right... California's terrible gun laws were at fault.
