    Sure, so you start by getting 290 votes in the House. Those are the folks who needed 15 tries to get a simple 218 vote majority to decide who their own leader was.

    Then you need 67 votes in the Senate, the folks who can’t get 60 to break a filibuster.

    Then you need ratification from 38 states… In 2020, they split 50/50 for Biden vs. Trump, here’s the map:

    Find 13 red states willing to give up their guns. Oh, wait, did I say 13? Yeah, 6 Biden states have Republican statehouses, so now you’re looking at needing as many as 19 Trump states to give up their guns.
