A simple device could help prevent accidental gun deaths, but most firearms don’t have it

At least 277 people have been killed since 2000 by shooters who believed the gun in their hands was unloaded because the magazine was removed.

    Yeah, no amendment can be undone in the current climate.

    Doing it requires 290 votes in the House, a body that last needed 15 tries to get a 218 vote simple majority to decide who their own leader will be.

    Then you need a 67 vote majority in the Senate, a body that’s blocked from doing anything by a 60 vote majority to break a filibuster.

    If by some miracle, both of those things happen, then the change needs to be ratified by 38 states.

    In the last election, Trump won 31 states, so he’d need 7 Harris states to back him on repealing an amendment. Aint happening.
