I hate to disagree with you j4 but I gotta go with rd this time. A complete ban of funds would I'll serve the populace. Criminals will be the only ones with guns at that point. And this country already had issues with smuggling contraband. Have fun when the south secedes on grounds of second amendments rights violation. The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." It simply can't be done. So we need to find other alternatives.
Well, it would cause a lot of problems for people who live far away from regular civilization who need guns to do everything from protect their property and livestock, to hunt for food. There's also the fact that sport shooting and hunting are both past times that are enjoyed across the country, though I do know that hunting is on the decline and I wouldn't be surprised to hear if sport shooting was too. As for the fact that criminals would be the only ones with guns, I hear that sentiment thrown around a lot and yeah, there are so many guns in this country that if they were completely outlawed, it would be heck of a struggle to get them all off the streets. I doubt that would happen again.I hate to disagree with you j4 but I gotta go with rd this time. A complete ban of funds would I'll serve the populace.

Yeah, the link I posted suggested an alternative. I'd post the other things I'd like to see, but given that the link I posted wants to control distribution and rd said the only solution s/he'd accept is controlling distribution, well. I'm not sure s/he wants to agree.
I can't take a look at it right now but I will try to later and get back to you. Gotta pick up a friend
No. No. I totally agree that better distribution regulations would help. I even said that closing the gun show loopholes as well as using licensed dealers to facilitate sales between individuals would be a great start. What the author of this article suggested though, I disagreed, because quite frankly, I find the ideas to be both crazy, poorly thought out, and quite frankly, overkill.
