OK - So let's say we repeal the second amendment. [View all]

[cliffordu]

Allow people handguns with short magazines and bolt action rifles.

Nothing else, no "assault weapons"

Who is going to be responsible for gathering up all those ugly black guns with the bayonet mounts and the suppressors and the big magazines?


How many "gun nuts" would fight to the death? Would their slaughter and the killing of those (10,000? 20,000?, 100,000?) tasked with the removal of said guns be worth it to rid the US of "gun nuts"? (you know, the bloodthirsty small peckered variety so deeply loved here in DU.....)

Are you willing to kill a million people to take ugly guns away? two million?? five million?

What would you use to remove these guns? The military and their firepower? Turned wholesale against the civilian population?

If you use the military, how are they going to restrict movement so guns cannot be smuggled out of areas not yet searched into already 'cleansed' areas??

At gunpoint.

I think banning ugly guns is fine, except that it will solve nothing. That's because once you've banned them, you have to take them away from your neighbors. And that is a whole 'nother thing, amigo.
