These firefighters were VOLUNTEERS

If there was a way to eradicate every firearm in the country and melt them down,
I would be for it, 100%.

But as you know we have had firearms in this country for over 200 years on the open market.
Every bank robber, store hold up bandit, mugger, drug dealer etc have firearms. Very few other major countries have had that situation in the past. They do not have proliferation of guns in
the hands of law-breakers.

So, please explain how passing stringent anti-firearm laws will persuade the law breakers to
turn in their weapons. By definition these criminals don't give a rat's ass what the law is.

So by abolishing 2nd amendment, we will disarm the law abiding, but not the law breaking criminals. We are too far gone with guns. Now we need more "good" guys with guns
to counter the "bad" guys with guns.

In localities where strict gun laws exist (Wash DC, Chicago) there is more deaths by guns.
OTOH where concealed carry is easily allowed, there is less deaths by guns.

Moral of the story is, face reality, not wishful thinking.
