If they are not going to remove these millions of deadly weapons, what is the purpose?

400 million guns...20 million new ones a year.


I guess if makes it harder to buy new ones from an FFL, its worth it.

AT least until the next massacre.

Respectfully, there are about 5 individual threads on the DU General Discussion forum where folks are advocating exactly that.

I think the point is, they're trying to enact something that will be more "effective" this time.

Edit. Crap responded to the wrong post. Sorry about that.

Half of my firearms are semi autos.

Aren't those what all those clamoring for gun control are intent on banning/confiscating?
