Confiscate most guns in the country, and how it could be done

[cherokeeprogressive]

71. I think the fog of anger over this tragedy has clouded a lot of otherwise excellent minds.

You love how people make assumptions, you say... well you're making one too. A very big assumption indeed. You're assuming enough LEO's will support such a law so as to make it necessary to comply with in the first place. I must respectfully state I don't think that's the case.

Just think of the logistics necessary for what is being suggested here. There are over 80 MILLION gun owners in the country. How many LEO's and military personnel are there combined? 5-6 million tops? What will they do, go door to door?

I'm sorry to be argumentive, but DU has some of the most brilliant people I've ever encountered. I certainly pale in the shadow of most. It seems to me though that anger over this inconcievable tragedy has pushed some of them into extreme thinking that simply isn't withing the realm of the reality of the situation.

From everything I've ever learned, the Supreme Court is loathe to revisit what it considers to be settled law. As discompassionate as this sounds, I doubt this is enough to change that.

Please understand I say this with all due respect.
