Mass shootings, will anything change? The answer is no until this happens:

1. The rural and southern veto in the American political setup is crushed. Australia reformed its gun laws after the 1996 Tasmania massacre because its parliamentary system incorporates no rural reactionary veto.

2. To get #1:

* One senator per state, with additional senators allocated by population.

* Saturday and Sunday voting with election days holidays.

* Pass HR1 or the John Lewis VRA

* Ranked choice voting everywhere.

* Online voting like Estonia.

* An expanded Supreme Court rules that the comma in the 2nd amendment means that gun rights apply only to "a well-regulated militia", not individuals, whether it's a pistol or a . The current conservative Supremes should be sent back to law school to learn basic English grammar.

Absent these measures, assume more Parklands and Sandy Hooks happen.
