Maybe start a foundation for the elimination of gun violence and lobby the powers that be. But no, you’d rather be here lecturing us.
I can't help but wonder how you KNOW for CERTAINTY what I am doing. If I mention ANYTHING I do, they you and others jump p up and scream virtual signaling.

I do NOT ever initiate hundreds of posts. I am answering or responding to hundreds of posts that I disagree with. I know it seriously upsets you to have someone post something you disagree with . I am sorry my posts upset you so much, maybe you would be happier if you blocked me?

I believe conversation can help people come to an understand of each other, but I do know that with some people they are so invested in their beliefs that don't bother to try to understand the other persons beliefs. I for one have changed a lot of my views on this topic. One for example, is I have come to believe that banning AR-15s will not significantly change the situation. My coming to that change is thanks in part to posters here that take the time to actually address the issue and say why it doesn't and won't work. I am still willing to accept banning AR-15s as a test/attempt to see how it works, but I personally no longer believe it will make a significant difference. See, that is how discussions work. If you are totally not interested in anything that anyone says that might disagree with what you believe to be true. Then why do you continue to post your one liner zingers? Just to get all the cheering from others that believe as you do? That would be sad, posting to get approval clicks while children are dying.

I see very few contributions from you that suggest what can be done, but a LOT of posts from you dis'ing other posters for quality, quality, and accuracy. Lots of "negative vibes".
