Go ahead and criticize him… I dare anyone.

This kind of points out the silliness of gun free zones without any enforcement.

and you're one of them...a suicidal shooter starts firing somewhere behind you or to your side...you turn to the sounds...all of a sudden multiple people join in with their own firearms...who is the bad guy you are going to aim at?...you have no idea, but you're carrying your gun for just such an occasion and you've just got to be one of the heroes...admit it...there's going to be chaos.
Better that major Malls hire more trained security officers (hey, you can sign up)...and let them handle the situation...or have metal detectors in all big malls with armed and trained officers nearby. Have everyone else keep their guns at home...period.
The 'Vector' we need to follow is one that eliminates Assault Rifles and sharply reduces the number of guns in circulation...just like all the other countries of this planet that have far fewer gun homicides than we do...thanks to their restrictive gun laws...we've got all the 'Militias' we need already.

Right now, everyone can carry in a few dozen states, and there are no malls full of glock carrying shoppers. Indiana is an example. (Granted, the more Democrats talk about defunding the police, the more people will be carrying.)
Elimination of firearms can only be achieved through a totalitarian state...and that will never be allowed in this country. So, you advocate for an imaginary solution.
I would invite you to stay within reality when proposing policy...but I know you will just keep pushing your party's agenda, since that is all you know.
hunting (not Assault Rifles, though), target shooting or home defense...although from my perspective that's debatable since many more children are victims of accidents in the home (~1K/yr vs. ` 100 home invasions thwarted by armed homeowners)...that's real data, btw.
The fewer guns outside the home, the sager we'll all be...and this whole "Militia" thing is bogus beyond words.
Guns carried around outside the home are not needed.

all it takes is a bit more sanity on the part of our leaders...if the Aussies can do it...so can we.
All those 400 million guns are not "Needed"...btw...to the best of my knowledge, each recent mass shooter "BOUGHT" their weapon(s)...let's make the purchase process so challenging that only the "Good Guys" can get one...and again...NO Assault weapons, or associated magazines and ammunition.
We have 10 times their population...we are a nation with no borders (at your doing)...they are a distributed city on an Island which incarcerates illegal aliens.
We fought for our freedom from people like you. They did not. You have created a large percentage of people who want to be dependent on the state rather than free men. But, not enough. There are still enough freedom loving rugged individualists who will want to stop you. Why? Because you cannot turn the US into Australia without destroying the country. You will have to repeal the Constitution first. Set your sights on that, and see how things go. You might want to wait another couple decades, and make more inroads in weakening suburban and rural society. You might have more success then.

But in the real world, we can't stop the bad guys from obtaining guns and using them to murder innocents. I am not sure why this is so difficult for some to understand.
