Why anti-gun laws will never work in US

[JohnnyRingo]

167. Imagine buying back all 300 mil guns

Then we can just throw them all in the ocean, and there will never be another gun in the USA, just like heroin.

Just try to get that bill through any congress, and I guess it would make hunting illegal. Con-Agra might send some lobbyists to help the effort, but it won't be nearly enough. Indeed, if you can imagine 50 representitives from either party that would ever support an outright ban, you have a very vivid imagination.

I'm all for voluntary buy backs. They get a lot of the so called "Saturday Night Specials" off the streets-the cheap imported throw away guns used in the majority of crimes-but most honest people buy quality firearms and would be absolutely unwilling to give it up for a pizza coupon.

Your plan would lead to a proliferation of federal prison building and a likely a mass revolt, so add that to the cost. It's possible you think you're in the vast majority of Americans, but you'd best check those polls again.

Even Canada isn't anywhere near that forward on gun restrictions, and I can't think of a free country that is. People don't call a 100% gun-free population a utopia for nothing.
