So back to gun control, give me real solutions. I’m open to hearing it. The caveats are that it’s achievable and Constitutional. I think that’s fair.

I've responded to you I think.

Waiting times and raising the minimum age of being able to purchase a gun absolutely work at reducing school and mass shootings.

I also don't see why red flag laws would be unworkable either.

I would like to see the empirical evidence to support this. Are there data that shows definitively that x number of kids have said they would have committed a school shooting absent having to be 21 to get a firearm? I say that mostly in jest, but seriously, how has that been determined? I’d like to see the study.

Because depriving someone of a guaranteed constitutional right without trial is insanity. There are already methods available to have someone declared legally insane.

Anyone of any reasonableness sees the massive, massive potential abuses that would occur with red flag laws. A Bernie Bot shot a sitting US Senator based on Bernie's rhetoric at the time. Should Bernie have been hit with a first amendment red flag law that acts as a gag order?
