Banning guns is the 'easy' part - enforcement and removal is the hard part

[Pyryck]

16. I seriously doubt any ban will be inacted anytime soon

An observation I've had, along with some epiphanies in my thought processes.

Please stop attacking, berating, denigrating, or otherwise putting down your "opponents" because "they" will automatically get defensive and resort to emotional responses instead of listening, thinking and maybe even perhaps agreeing to logical solutions to OUR problem.

The suggestions put forth in the OP and responses can be a perceived "authoritarian-like" response to the problem which does trigger "them" to even more firmly "hold or stand their ground" against a tyrannical attempt to infringe on their and OUR Constitutional rights.

They fear "the other" and having their life or personal property "taken" from them, either by means of private violence or "state-sponsored" violence.

Whether we all choose to admit it or not, the "state" as in city, county, state and federal governments, including LEOs, have no legal duty to protect an individual life from "private violence". So if the "state" won't protect their or our lives who then do we turn to for protection? And how do we go about protecting and defending OUR lives? How will YOU help THEM to protect OUR lives?

A bit of ancient wisdom that I believe applies to this significant major issue in this country.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

While the wording figuratively applies to real actual war, I believe we should approach this major significant issue with logic and reason while reaching out with compassion and empathy.
