What the heck does a gun have to do with your right to protect yourself or your property? That just makes it easier. Use a bat. Use a knife. Set up booby traps.
If an 8 year old with hot wheels can do it, so can you.
Perhaps we should have NFL players fire guns into the air during the national anthem. That'll get some movement.
If you started by banning further sales + offering buyback, that would at least stem the tide. You can figure out later what to do with the existing guns but I don't understand why you have to tolerate this lunatic buying 33 guns in a single year on a going forward basis.

3% of Americans own 50% of the guns. 78% of Americans don't own a gun.

That's true but that can be a separate conversation from banning further gun sales. This maniac in Vegas bought 33 guns in the lats year alone. Sure if he was hellbent on buying them and there were no gun stores and the only thing he could do is buy them privately under the table he could do that but it would be a hell of a lot harder and more expensive to get 33 of them in a year.
Yes, those things are all true and as a lawyer I know them quite well.
My initial comment was concerning what I regard as dishonesty among Democrats and Republicans in Washington in framing the debate, and that it will take more than "common sense gun control" to get the gun violence situation under control.
Honestly.
Or maybe if every Arab in America went and bought 50 semi-automatics and started to open carry in states where allowed, you might get Republicans suggesting "sensible regulations".

How could the NRA hold such sway? I completely understand it's by lining the pockets of legislatures but at some point someone has to stand up and say this is beyond gone on long enough.... But unfortunately I don't think there's some one with the fortitude to do this ... But worse it might be too late... Its the old adage how do you get the toothpaste back in the tube... We're so far down this road is there any solution?
Single issue gun voters are *highly* motivated voters, especially in the GOP primaries.
But when do we hit that tipping point where even these voters^ have to admit this is wrong on all levels..... These people can't be either this stupid or just mindless sheep heading to slaughter.

As I've said in earlier posts.... One should have the right to be able to protect kith and kin (I do), but one shouldn't be able to own these type of weapons in my view period.
