(un)Fortunately this will also lead to mayhem and murder that could well include their (the politicians) friends and family if they have any.

They've not understood what every civilized country has before: unfettered access to weapons of death will prove deadly.

Since the US has allowed so many weapons of lethality to be distributed it will be hard/impossible to put back in the bottle.

And the types of weapons will increase and be far more deadly and indiscriminate. No sense criminalizing ghost guns, sawed-off shotguns, bump stocks, laser weapons, anti-tank or worse weapons.

Who is actually going to turn the US back into a peaceful country?
