On guns, a question: What would *you*, personally, do to confiscate them?

67. Traditionally you start with family and friends.

That's the way we've always done it.

Then we can start working on our neighbors.

What are they going to do, shoot you?

Gun fetishes are disgusting.

Eventually gun owners will have to keep their guns at the ranges and sneak off to shoot them, taking showers afterwards so they don't go home to their wives smelling like gunpowder.

Sniff, sniff... hmmmm... I thought you were going to the gym, dear. Funny, no one saw you there.

I'm old enough to remember smoking was common everywhere. Smoking culture was promoted in the movies and on television. People smoked on airplanes, in restaurants, and even in grocery stores.

Slowly smoking became socially unacceptable and the law followed.

A similar process occurred with drunk driving.

That's what the gun fetishists are afraid of.

Most people in the U.S.A. don't care enough about guns to bother owning one. Increasing legal restrictions on guns and gun ownership won't affect them in any negative way.

Guns are a public health problem just like smoking and drunk driving and will be treated as such.
