Guns don't kill people ....

[henry quirk]

"On a purely logistical level the idea of removing all guns from all but a qualified few, in a country as large and legislatively fragmented as the US seems an exercise in futility."

Oh, it would (again) be a long, bloody, expensive process, but, as I think on it, *confiscation could work.









*not only by way of directly seizing guns, but also by way of raising the requirements for ownership, possession, and use to inhuman levels; by making manufacturers, sellers, importers, etc. jump through impossible hoops; by -- in the manner of 'hate crimes' -- appending awful penalties to crimes where a gun was even present; and on and on. Only after it's nigh-impossible to have a gun and be legal does the legit door-to-door confiscation need to happen.

And, of course, the most successful tactic is simply redirecting the herd toward 'gun = bad'...change the nation's heart (so to speak) and mass voluntary disarming follows (in in drips and drabs, certainly, over the long haul, but disarmed is disarmed, yes?).

It won't happen in a year, or five, or even ten, but over a twenty year frame, with the application of incremental change, America would be gun-free.

I, of course, will never see that having been shot down for refusing to hand over my Stoeger and shells...small price to pay, I guess, for utopia...*shrug*
