Im not sure many of you can grasp the amount of firearms that are in circulation. The cat is out of the bag.
Australia is the size of NYC. Comparing the two is fool's errand. New Zealand is even smaller.
Hundreds of thousands produced daily. I would look for alternative routes than the ol "Get rid of guns" schtick. It might do wonders for you ego, but it does little else."I don't pretend to have all the answers, and I think there's something to be said for that" -One For The Road

99% of my personal experience post SCOTUS Heller tells me that the myth that "an armed society is a polite society" is totally busted. Ya sure, some people definitely do walk away from a confrontation and don't escalate for fear of having to use the gun they are packing.. But, far more are more likely to get on your face and escalate, especially road rage when they know pulling a gun is an option when things start to go south over trivial bullshit..
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

Yup, it could never work because...it could never work. Because someone said so. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, including in this country (in NYC, for example--look what strict gun laws and enforcement and interdiction of guns from the stupid states accomplished here). Grow up, amirite Stainless?

Someone needs to tell these people they are fucking stupid.

Verdecia isn’t there to get to know the kids, break up fights or do the typical community-policing that school resource officers typically do, said MSA Principal Bill Jones.Verdecia has one job: Stop an active shooter.
Jones said if a shooter arrived at the campus, they would most likely be carrying a rifle, wearing body armor and looking to inflict as much carnage as quickly as possible. He said even though the Palmetto Police Department will respond, he needs someone on scene who can return force with force."I don't pretend to have all the answers, and I think there's something to be said for that" -One For The Road

Good point.
A suspect in the fatal shooting of a Goldman Sachs employee in what police say was an unprovoked attack on a New York City subway train was in custody Tuesday."I don't pretend to have all the answers, and I think there's something to be said for that" -One For The Road

You're not going to be able to overturn the 2nd. If you want gun law reform, you're going to have to start thinking about what gun control you can support, that might actually help things, that you can also get the majority of gun owners to support as well.
So registries and de facto registries are off the table you don't get the support for that.
You're going to have to abandon your favorite most emotionally gratifying ideas and embrace finding common ground with those you disagree with. This isn't a moral commandment its just a practical reality.
Demonizing gun owners and dismissing their values as insanity or selfishness are not going to get us anywhere. Making them feel scared of bans is just going to make them buy more guns and ammo. Keep butting your heads against a brick wall if you want, it won't lead to any sollutions but it at least creates a target to vent blame and anger on.__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________

If only there was something we could do...
“Nothing can be done because I’m not willing to make a personal sacrifice”
“The problem is too big. Therefore, nothing can be done.”
“Trying is the first step towards failure”
“More cops to hem and haw for an hour over what to do while kids are being slaughtered”

I hope some of you aren't wasting all your time engaging with nitwits.
Please take some time to write your senators to pass HR8 and demand that further gun control bills be passed.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

The biggest actual obstacle would be the massive amount of money $$$$$ the government would have to print to compensate all these ammosexuals for their personal arsenals. I suspect that the fact that they could no longer brag online and poste about the cool but now illegal gunz without getting a visit from the ATF. They/we could no longer take them to the range and play with them there.. Taking all the fun out of it might persuade most except the true anarchists to comply and find a different hobby.

Sure, yea, anti gun types aren't willing to sacrifice their ire, blame, and hatred for gun owners, nor their smug attachment to being right, and thier insistence the world can be some sort of perfect place, and are therefore incapable of pursuing any actually possible solutions. Agreed.

I already asked what assault rifle owners could do and the answer was destroy them....
That wont happen as they are valuable. There are no buy backs in place and selling to another private owner literally does nothing.
